Supported formats for digitized 3D locations

MNE-Python can load 3D point locations obtained by digitization systems. Such files allow to obtain a :class:`montage <mne.channels.DigMontage>` that can then be added to :class:`~mne.io.Raw` objects with the :meth:`~mne.io.Raw.set_montage`. See the documentation for each reader function for more info on reading specific file types.

Vendor Extension(s) MNE-Python function
Neuromag .fif :func:`mne.channels.read_dig_fif`
Polhemus ISOTRAK .hsp, .elp, .eeg :func:`mne.channels.read_dig_polhemus_isotrak`
EGI .xml :func:`mne.channels.read_dig_egi`
MNE-C .hpts :func:`mne.channels.read_dig_hpts`
Brain Products .bvct :func:`mne.channels.read_dig_captrak`
Compumedics .dat :func:`mne.channels.read_dig_dat`

To load Polhemus FastSCAN files you can use :func:`montage <mne.channels.read_polhemus_fastscan>`.

It is also possible to make a :class:`montage <mne.channels.DigMontage>` from arrays with :func:`mne.channels.make_dig_montage`.
