Operation

E164809_2_002

Normally the tables are executed after 

RUN

 is selected, beginning from row one to the end of

the  entries.  But  you  can  also  measure  single  rows  of  the  table  by  marking  these  lines  and
then  selecting 

RUN

.  This  may  be  useful  if  not  all  samples  are  prepared  at  the  beginning  of

the analysis or if several measurements should be repeated.

Spreadsheet data are saved automatically every time an entry is changed and any time the
ENTER key is pressed. The filename is generated by the minispec software:

<application>\MMMYY\DD\hh\mm\ss.mdb

 with:

<application>

: path of the current application

MMM

: month (Jan, Feb, Mar,..., Nov, Dec)

JJ

: year (99, 00, 01, ...)

DD

: day (01, 02, ..., 31)

hh

: hour (00, 01, ...23)

mm

: minute (00, 01, ..., 59)

ss

: second (00, 01, ..., 59)

Saving in ASCII-format

The  files  can  be  saved  alternatively  in  ASCII-format  by  using  the 

Save

  or 

Save  Copy  As

commands.  The  file  name  will  be  prompted  in  a  standard  file  selector  box,  and  the  file
extension used is *

.tab

. The first row of the data includes the headlines of the spreadsheet,

the columns are spaced with a <TAB>. The ASCII tables can also be opened with standard
text editors like NOTEPAD/WORDPAD or MS-EXCEL.

During  a  measurement  the  spreadsheet  is  updated  by  the  minispec  software  every  time  a
result  is  added.  The  tables  can  be  opened  on  the  measurement  PC  or  any  other  PC
equipped  with  the  minispec.exe  software  or  MS-ACCESS  2013.  External  monitoring  of  the
measurement results via a network connection is therefore possible.

minispec.exe Menu Functions

The  minispec  software  provides  many  opportunities  for  data  display,  data  saving,  and
measurement  handling.  This  chapter  describes  all  functions  that  are  available  when  the
software is configured as 

NMR-Analyzer

.

When  the  minispec  is  used  only  for  specialized  applications  (Fluorine,  etc.)  many  of  these
functions  are  unnecessary.  In  this  case,  the  number  of  menu  options  is  reduced  to  simplify
the  interface  and  make  the  software  easier  to  use  when  the  configuration  is  adjusted  to
certain  analyzer  types.  Commands  whose  functionality  may  be  not  reasonable  in  some
contexts  appear  grayed  or  may  no  longer  be  visible.  The  actions  of  the  functions  are
described below.

6.2.4.1

The Bars

The  minispec  software  menu  structure  and  toolbars  are  designed  within  the  framework  of
most  standard  Windows  software  to  ensure  intuitive  handling  (see  the  screen  layout  in  the
figure below). In the 

Menu 

bar actions can be selected via pull-down menus. Icons are also

used  for  commonly  used  actions  and  remain  visible  in  the 

Standard 

toolbar.  Depending  on

the  options  selected,  the  most  important  commands  for  the  execution  and  abortion  of
measurements  may  also  be  accessible  through  large  icons  on  a 

Measurement 

toolbar,

which  is  usually  positioned  at  the  bottom  of  the  screen  below  the  signal  window.  In  the

Result 

bar  the  numerical  result(s)  of  the  last  measurement  is  displayed.  The 

Info 

toolbar

contains easily selectable buttons pertaining to the instrument status and parameter display,
as  well  as  a  list  of  loaded  applications.  Finally,  the  status  of  the  measurement  and
connections are summarized in the 

Status

 bar. The functionality of these items is described

in the following sections in detail.
