To save this 

montage, press the “Save as” button (green arrow) and enter a name as depicted in the 

figure  below.  After  clicking  the 

“OK”  button,  the  new  montage  will  appear  in  the  list  of  available 

montages. 

 

 
Having  completed  the  initialization  steps  (see  chapter  6.1  of  the  main  manual),  you  can  proceed  to 
attaching the PLM sensors which is described in the next chapter. 
 

3  Applying the sensors 

Clean the places where you want to fix the PLM- electrodes with Nuprep.  
 
Apply  the  PLM  electrodes  at  the  Musculus  Tibialis  Anterior  of  each  leg  between  knee  and  ankle  as 
shown  in  the  figure  below  and  connect  them  to  the  corresponding  sensor  electrodes.  You  will  need 
three  electrodes  for  PLM1  and  two  for  PLM2.  Fix  the  cables  with  some  adhesive  tape  so  that  the 
recording won’t be disturbed by their movement. 
 
Due to 

Intelligent Connect™ you can plug the PLM sensor arbitrarily in one of the two sockets. If you 

are using the ECG sensor as well, it does not matter which sensor gets connected to which socket.
