Processing in NMRFx Analyst is done by executing a series of operations. These include common actions like apodization, zero-filling, and Fourier Transform. Operations are normally executed in groups that correspond to the dimensions of the dataset. Operations act on three different categories of data
The set of operations used to process a full dataset can be created in three ways. First, when you read in a one- or two-dimensional experiment the data parameters will be examined and an appropriate set of operations will be generated. Second, you can generate the operations with the Auto Generate menu item in the Script menu at the bottom of the processor. This can be used if there are no operations present (you've either deleted them, or it is a higher-dimensional experiment where auto-generation doesn't happen when the FID is loaded) or if you want to replace a set of operations with a new, automatically generated, set. Finally, you can add individual operations with the + menu on each Dimension panel. You can start from scratch (with an empty list of operations) or add new ones to an existing set.
Most operations have configurable parameters. Click on the operation's title bar list to expand the panel to show a control region. Different controls will be displayed depending on the type of the parameter . Boolean values get a check box and real or integer values with large ranges get a simple entry field. Values with defined ranges will generally be displayed as a slider. Sliders for real values have a "-" and "+" button at the right end which can be used to adjust the range of the slider. Parameters with a defined list of possible values will be displayed with a combobox. Any change to a parameter will immediately update the operation list. If you are in FID w/OPs mode, the processing to the current vector and the chart display will update with the processed vector. If you are in Auto Update mode (choice box at the bottom of the processor), then the entire dataset will be processed with the updated parameters.
Some operations have button or menus that can be used to configure the operation. For example, the Phasing operation has controls to be used for setting pivots, setting preset phase values, or automatically calculating phases.
Operations can most conveniently be added by selecting one from the "+" menu on each Dimension Panel. Operations can be deleted by right-clicking on the operation's title bar and selecting the "Delete" item in the menu that appears. Each operation is placed at a default position, relative to any existing operations in the list, but you can click on the arrows on the right side of the title bar and drag an operation to a new position in the list if you would like it at some other location.
The + menu has three submenus.
