Electrodes placed on the legs, arms, face buttock or pelvic area use WIDE
BAND setting. All other areas i.e. abdomen, chest, shoulder, upper arms
and back use the NARROW BAND setting.
Narrow band setting is used due to the interference from the electrical
activity of the heart which needs to be eliminated from the EMG signal.
