Set pl11 to 120 dB for now. ; Set pl1 to the (calibrated) power level for the 1H 90 dgr. ; non-selective pulse. ; ; 2) Run a 1D 1H spectrum with rg = 1, ns = 1, ds = 0, and p1 to 2 us. ; FT and phase the water resonance (positive signal). ; ; 3) Change p1 back to the length of the non-selective 90 dgr. ; ; 4) Estimate the power level sp2. This can be done using the pw and pl ; for a regular 90 dgr. 1H pulse. If the proton 90 dgr. pulse is p1 at pl1, ; pl11 = pl1 + 20*log10(p11/p1). This works best if CORTAB has been ; performed on your instrument. ; ; 5) Optimize pl11: ; run parnull (or paropt) varying pl11 in a +-3 dB window around the ; value estimated in 4). Process using the same parameters (phase etc.) ; as determined in 2). Look for the null. Then zoom in on the null ; by running parnull (or paropt) again with 0.1 dB steps. If the phasing ; is done correctly, a positive signal indicates that pl11 is too high, ; a negative signal is a sign that pl11 is too low. ; Be carefull not to miss the null by 6 dB: try varying pl11 from 60 dB ; in -1 dB steps (20-30 steps) and look for the first zero-crossing. It ; should be the same the one found above. ; ; 6) Optimize phcor21: ; Set pl11 to the value determined in 5), with p11, p1 and pl1 all ; set to their calibrated values. Using the same processing parameters ; as in 5), run paropt varying phcor21 from -20 to +20 in 2 dgr steps. ; Look for the value of phcor21 that minimizes the residual H2O signal. ;Define channel assignments: #define H f1 ;You shouldn't have to worry about anything beyond this point :-) "d11=100m" "d12=10u" "d13=5u" #include 1 ze 2 d11 3 4u d1 pl11:H (p11 ph21:r):H d13 d12 pl1:H (p1 ph1):H go=2 ph31 d11 wr #0 exit ph21=0 ph1=2 ph31=0
