Note: If there are extension features in the template, the system will automatically find the contour for them.

 

Extracting a new electrode

When creating a new electrode, the Apply Template and Change Template buttons are displayed.

Apply Template: This button determines that a template will be used. The button toggles to No Template.

Completing an existing electrode

Templates can be applied on existing electrodes in two ways:

  1. Selecting Apply Template from the Electrode Guide or select Electrode / Apply Template from the main menu. The Load Template dialog is displayed.

Note: If there are extension features in the template, the system will automatically find the contour for them.

  1. If the contour is not picked properly automatically, using templates from within the Extension function allows you to define the contour first.
    From within the Extension function, selecting the Apply Template and Change Template buttons, as mentioned above (applying templates when creating a new electrode).
