1. A system, comprising:
a stimulator device comprising a plurality of electrodes forming an electrode array; and
a non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed on an external device, are configured to cause the external device to:
render a Graphical User Interface (GUI) on the external device,
allow a user to specify in the GUI a first pole configuration configured to provide stimulation at a first position relative to the electrode array,
allow a user to specify in the GUI a second pole configuration configured to provide stimulation at a second position relative to the electrode array, wherein the GUI allows the user to link the first and second pole configurations together as a controllable group, and
enable the stimulator device to concurrently apply the stimulation from the first and second pole configurations at the respective first and second positions in the electrode array.
