The system includes a receiving unit configured to receive, corresponding to an electrode, a stored prior individual value from a plurality of stored 5 prior individual values of ECAP/ an ECAP prior growth function, the plurality of stored prior individual values or the ECAP prior growth function being obtained at a previous session. Furthermore, a processing unit configured to process the received prior individual value/ ECAP growth function to determine a stimulus signal value corresponding to the received individual value/ a selected point on the ECAP prior growth function, instruct a signal delivery unit to 10 provide to the electrode a first stimulus signal comprising a first level that is same or above said stimulus signal value, and determine a resulting ECAP generated in response to said first stimulus signal.
