Data processing 17.4
Processing parameters should be set according to the following table:
Data obtained with mp3qzfil.av from nuclei with spin I = 3/2 can be processed with
xfb
, if
IN10
has been set appropriately to run a split-t
1
experiment. If this is not the
case data can be sheared in order to align the anisotropic axis along the F2 axis.
This is done with the AU program
xfshear
. The AU program checks the nucleus
to determine the spin quantum number, checks the name of the pulse program
and decides what type of experiment has been performed. In case the nucleus is
unknown to the program, or the pulse program has a name that does not contain
a string “nq” nor “nQ” (with n=3, 5, 7, 9), the required information is asked for by
the program, in order to calculate the shearing correctly.
Note that using a user designed pulse program that contains e.g. a string “5q” but
performs a 3Q experiment (and vice versa) will yield erroneous shearing. When
started the AU program prompts for “Apply ABS2?” and “F1 shift in ppm:”. It is ad-
visable to calculate a baseline correction after F2 Fourier transform. Note that the
range defined by ABSF1 and ABSF2 is used for this. You should make sure that
