SECTION 2 CREATE A NEW MONTAGE
Before doing EEG examination, normally the users create the new montages according to their
habits.
SUBSECTION 1 ABOUT MONTAGES
There are two types of montages in the MND-3000 system. They are system montages and case
montages. The system montage exists in the system and will not disappear. Users can create
system montages by themselves. But the case montage exists in each case, it is user defined.
Each case can have different case montages.
The differences between system montages and case montages:
1. The system montages can not be used directly, during recording and reviewing, the used
montages are the case montages.
2. The case montage exits in the case, but the system montage exists in the system library, so
the case montage can disappear with the changes of the cases, but the system montage can only
disappear or be changed when the users delete it or change it.
3. The system montage can be transferred to the case montage by taking out from the montage
library. But the case montage can not be transferred to the system montage.
The case montage is located in the pull-down list. The case montage can be
edited by selecting Edit Montage from the Edit Menu. If deleting the case montage, delete it in the

sure the EEG waveform is more accurate. There are two modes of display impedance check:
Gradual and Switch.
Usage: In the process of monitoring or gathering the waveform, press green button on the left
side of the Acquisition Box. Then a impedance check window pops up as below:
When this window pops up, it is in the impedance measurement mode, and top screen displays as
Initialing. It will display the result of impedance check after about 10 seconds. Every electrode
is marked as different color, and the screen will display as Check Status as picture below:
84
: Electrode working status impedance figure
: According to the signal given by Acquisition Box, calculate the status of the
electrode and obtain the self-adapt parameter benchmark.
: If green signal lamp and white signal lamp wink alternately, it means
Acquisition Box works well.
: The color changes once means impedance check half done.
: Means a certain lead falls off skin from the beginning.
: Means a certain lead falls off when measuring.
: Set all parameters as default one and save to register list.
85
SUBSECTION 1 GRADUAL MODE
: In this mode, the color will change from green to yellow and then to red, that shows
the approximate range of the impedance. Minimum color is green and maximum color is red. The
impedance value changes from minimum to maximum when the color changes from green to red.
: Shows upper limit of EEG impedance range, this value and the value higher
than this will all be marked as red.
: Shows lower limit of EEG impedance range, this value and the value lower
than this will all be marked as green.
: The upper limit and the lower limit will be changed when this button pressed down.
: The impedance color comparison bar change from green to red gradually,
shows that the impedance value changes from minimum to maximum.
SUBSECTION 2 SWITCH MODE
: Set an impedance value as a parameter, it displays as red color when the
impedance value is higher than this parameter, and when the value is lower than it, the color will
be changed to green.
86
: The impedance parameter could be set as 2 K, 5 K, 10 K, 20 K, 50 K,

and 100 K.
: The impedance color comparison bar shows that if the impedance value is higher
than 10K the color will be red and lower than 10K color will be green.

Note: 4 basic system frequency bands are defined. They are Delta (0.8-3.8 Hz), Theta (4.0-7.8
Hz), Alpha (8.0-12.8 Hz) and Beta (13.0-30 Hz). Set six frequency bands for the application.
These frequency bands are named based on the above four basic system frequency bands. If the
average of the high frequency and the low frequency is within the range of any basic band, this
102
frequency band is named as the basic one. For example, the average (2.45) of the frequency
band (0.9-4.0 Hz) is within the range from 0.8 to 3.8, so the band is named as Delta. If there are
more than one application frequencies bands are within the same basic system frequency band,
indexes are appended after the basic name. For example, you may get Deta1, Deta2 and Deta3
and so on, if there are three frequency bands within the range of the basic frequency band Deta.
