title: [For the documentation of the results of the positional test a new schematic pointer diagram is recommended, the positiogram (author's transl)].
abstract: It contains six fields representing the six main positions of the test. In each field the intensity and the duration of the positional nystagmus are given by the coordinates of the maximal frequency as abscissa and of the duration as ordinate. The direction of the nystagmus is arrowed by the direction of the resulting pointer. The survey on all the six fields informs about the pertaining nystagmus direction, its intensity and positional type. The positiogram enhances a quick evaluation of the positional test and facilitates follow-up studies.
