1. A method implemented using a first neuromodulator programmed with a first set of modulation parameter settings to generate at least a first modulation field at one or more targets, the method comprising:
using a camera to capture an image from a programmer screen for a programmer of the first neuromodulator, the programmer screen including at least one setting for the first set of modulation parameter settings;
automatically recognizing the at least one setting from the image and using the at least one setting from the image to determine a second set of modulation parameter settings for a second neuromodulator to generate at least a second modulation field that is similar to the at least the first modulation field where the first and second neuromodulators use different neuromodulation field generation technology; and
programming the second neuromodulator with the second set of modulation parameters to deliver neuromodulation.
