1. A method of deriving a parameter set for a detection tool in an implantable medical device, the method comprising:
analyzing, with a computer, characteristics present in a region of interest in a graphical representation of a physiological signal to determine from among a plurality of different activity types, a determined activity type with which to characterize the region of interest;
automatically selecting, with a computer, a detection tool from among a plurality of different types of detection tools, based on the determined activity type;
further analyzing, with a computer, the region of interest to automatically derive an initial set of operating parameters for the detection tool;
simulating, with a computer, a physiological activity that the detection tool operating with the initial set of operating parameters of the detection tool would detect;
adjusting, with a computer, one or more values of the parameters in the initial set of operating parameters to modify a sensitivity of the detection tool so that it detects more or less of desired ones of the characteristics; and
generating, with a computer, a final set of operating parameters of the detection tool based on the adjusting.
