1. A device for generating an orientation of a lead for display, the device comprising:
one or more processors configured to:
generate, for display, a user interface depicting a representation of the lead and a plurality of electrodes disposed at respective different positions around a circumference of a lead housing, wherein the lead comprises:
the lead housing defining a longitudinal axis and the circumference;
the plurality of electrodes disposed at the respective different positions around the circumference of the lead housing, wherein the plurality of electrodes comprises at least three electrodes; and
an orientation marker; and
generate, for display via the user interface, an arrow corresponding to the orientation marker and positioned with respect to the representation of the lead, the arrow indicative of a circumferential orientation of the lead.
