1. A method for programming stimulation in a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) system, comprising:
selecting a first frequency and a first pulse width for first stimulation pulses to be produced by the SCS device using a mathematical function relating frequencies and pulse widths at which stimulation pulses are formed to provide pain relief without paresthesia; and
programming stimulation circuitry in the SCS system to generate first stimulation pulses with the selected first frequency and the selected first pulse width at at least one of a plurality of electrodes.
