HMC Documents:

The following documents are available in Adobe PDF format to members of the HMC Community. (You may obtain a free copy of Adobe's PDF Reader for Mac, PC, or Unix box.)

NMR Data Acquisition and Processing Software

• IconNMR (PDF), a quick-start document describing the easy-to-use IconNMR software interface to the Bruker Avance DPX-400 NMR.
• TopSpin (PDF), a quick-start document describing the advanced, full-featured software interface to the Bruker Avance DPX-400 NMR. (Note: TopSpin runs only on Chemistry Department workstations.)

NMR Processing Software for PC and Macintosh

• One-, two-, and three-dimensional NMR data may be analyzed off-line on PCs and Macintoshes using the same TopSpin software used on the spectrometer.  Instructions for running TopSpin on the NMR workstation from either of these platforms are available. 
• It is also possible to save the output of your data processing as a graphics file for inclusion in a report or publication.
• Data from the NMR workstation may be transferred via the network or to a USB drive.
