# How can I load a new custom layout in mbt software?

## Aside from customizing EEG electrode positions, you can also configure electrodes to record other ExG data (EOG, EMG, ECG etc.). In this article, we describe how you can load a custom layout file in the software to reflect the cap configuration.

This article applies only to PRO line solutions. For other devices, please find the appropriate article category.

If you don't use one of our standard cap/Smartfones layouts, you can load a custom one we prepare beforehand.

Custom layouts should be located on a memory stick you received in the amplifier box. The cap layout has a **.txt** or **.sfp** format.

In mbtStreamer Windows software, you can go to *Settings* and find the *Layouts* drop-down list. There, select the "*+*" sign to load a new layout. Navigate to the custom layout file. And voila - that's that.
