Page 49: Setting The Spectrometer Frequency
Installation 6.6.1 Setting the spectrometer frequency The next screen asks for the configuration name and spectrometer frequency (1H) in MHz. It is usual for Avance300 systems to set it to 300.13MHz. The field of the magnet is close to the corresponding value and the correct field value is achieved by adding a B shim current to it.

Page 62: Setting The Magnet To The Right Field
Installation Setting the magnet to the right field The magnet is designed to be operated at 300.18 MHz with the current in the H0 Field Coil of the Shim System set to zero. At this frequency the Synthesizers are "cleanest" and least likely to create spurious problems ! When the lock is powered up from cold, the Field DAC is not automatically set.
Page 63: Finding A Lock
Installation As explained in the previous chapter, some of the parameters have a different value range. This applies mainly to the PID parameters. Increasing loop gain and loop time results in a more rigid coupling to the lock signal (fast regulation with a higher risk to see lock artefacts in the baseline next to intense resonance lines).
Page 64 Installation First approach: Sweeping the B field. On the BSMS panel the sweep mode can be activated. The range (Ampl) and rate of the sweep can be adjusted. If there is no signal close to the current field value, the lock win- dow only shows a noisy baseline.
Page 65 Installation Once, these parameters are set correctly, open the edlock window. Select „BSMS“ in the menu and press Field Update. Leave the Phase set to -1, since this is stored by the lock control. Z31980_00_03...
Page 66 Installation There is a problem with this approach which also applies to the BSMS. The lock sends a series of RF pulses with a rate of 1kHz to the 2H coil. This results in an excitation profile of a central peak and a number of additional peaks on a 1kHz grid. These slowly decay in amplitude as their distance to the central peak increases.

Page 69 Installation Here is a zoom to the region of interest. The resonance line is at 26.22 ppm. From the edlock table, one can read that the C6D6 chemical shift for 2H is 7.16ppm. So, Z31980_00_03...
Page 70: Converting The Parameter Set To The Actual Bf1
Installation use the field value to shift the proton resonance line to that value on the 1H frequency scale. A rough value for the field shift is 20ppm/1000 field units. It depends a bit on the actual shim board but can be a good starting point for all Fourier systems. There is no need to be exact at this point.
Page 71: Tuning And Matching The Probe
Installation 6.11 Tuning and Matching the Probe 6.11.1 General Information about the Fourier Probe The Fourier system is delivered with a special probe. It is a modified DUL probe with 13C and 2H on the inner coil and 1H on the outer coil. The special feature is a coil design which is much less susceptible to the salt content of the sample.
Page 72: Figure 6.3 Gradient Echo
Installation Figure 6.3 Gradient echo • If this does not look like in the figure above, it could be, that the parameter sets have not been converted to the correct BF1. • The correct 2H pulse length. This is normally around 50us at 40 W and can be checked by a zg experiment, where 2H is selected as the oberve nucleus.
Page 73 Installation If gradshim is done for the first time on a system, the profiles of the various shim gradi- ents must be evaluated. (open Setup in the main window). This has only to be done once. If the shim profiles are available, it is possible to “Start Gradient Shimming”.

Page 91: Shim Control
Configuration 7.4.2 Shim Control Since shim control is a slave of the main board, the shim specific web server functions are found on the main board web server under: Main-> shim The Fourier has 20 coils for shimming. One Shim Control Board can handle 12 coils. Therefore we need two Shim Control Boards.
Page 92 Configuration Coil 1 On this page you can see the 12 coils which are controlled by the first Shim Control Board. The resolution of the DAC which set the current to the coils is 16 bits. 0x000 is the maximal negative current and 0xFFFF is the maximal positive current. This means the half 0x8000 is zero current.
Page 93 Configuration Note:if the current is close to zero, sometimes an error "insufficient current" is shown. If you are not sure if a shim is responding, set a larger current (> 100mA) temporarily and check that the error goes away.

Page 98 Configuration Pulse length: This value describes the time for pulses. Default: 100 us Dead time: The dead time is the waiting time after the pulse before sampling begins. Default: 20 us Recycle delay: This value represents the repetition rate for the pulse programmer. Default: 1ms (i.e. 1 kHz repetition) Number of points: The number of data points averaged by the FPGA within the recycle delay.
Page 99 Configuration should be set such that weak solvents have sufficient signal to reach the minimum lock and search levels, and low enough not to clip or change phase with strong solvents. Default: 80 dB. Attenuator: This adjusts the lock power level. At full power (0dB attenuation) the lock power is approximately 1mW (0dBm).
Page 100 Configuration Field DAC Small: The Lock is controlled by two DACs. A 12-bit coarse DAC is used for range selection and a 12-bit fine DAC which does the actual field regulation. The resolution of the fine DAC is about 0.025 Hz per DAC Step. A DAC value 0 means maximal negative current and 4095 means maximal positive cur- rent.

Page 109: Setting The Lift Parameters
Configuration 7.4.6.1 Setting the Lift Parameters When the sample lift is activated, the lift air valve is slowly opened from “start%” to “stop%” in steps of “step”, pausing “time” x 32ms at each step. Typical default values for an input pressure of 4 bar are shown in the example below. You can slow down the lift by increasing the time per step or reducing the step size.
Page 110: Setting The Spin Safety Threshold
Configuration 7.4.6.3 Setting the Spin Safety Threshold The spin has a safety function that shuts the spin off as soon as the Lift is turned on either manually or during the initialisation of the sample changer. In order to do this, the analog sensor that monitors the spinner has to be calibrated.
Page 111: Calibrating And Measuring The Helium Level
Configuration installation. Remove sample or activate the sample lift and note down the "empty" Spin Voltage. Now insert or lower the sample and switch the spin on (either from the BSMS panel or from the web server) Repeatedly read the Spin Voltage and note down the two values that can be read while the sample is spinning.
Page 112 Configuration To calibrate the Helium Level Sensor : Insert the “full” Level calibration standard Press “measure” Wait minimum for the required time (ee above) Press “get value” at the corresponding field. This shows the voltage acress the mea- surement resistor. For full, this should be zero volts (except for ECL 00 Peripheral Control Boards, in which case this value will be about 5).

Page 114: Additional Test Applications
RF paths are working. These tests are based on the minispec software which is routinely installed with Fourier PCs. The minispec Fourier Test Applications are found under: C:\program files (x86)\Bruker the minispec\service_only\fourier test applications FID.app acquires an fid independently from topspin. Pulse length & frequency etc can be adjusted under "settings".
Page 115 Configuration Fourier modulator test.app Feeds the modulator signal back to the receiver and tests if a pulse is being generated. The measurement is repeated 20 times and should give stable intensity results. This can be done both for 1H and for the C13 channel. Select the right channel by changing the "observe nucleus"...
Page 116 Configuration Fourier modulator test.app Feeds a small amount of the transmitter signal back to the receiver and tests if a pulse is being amplified. You can see the difference to the modulator signal by the rise time at the beginning. The signal intensity should be similar, but due to the variations of compo- nents cannot really be used to accurately measure the power.
Page 117 Configuration Fourier wobble.app Since the "wobb" routine doesn't work with the Fourier, this app creates a similar wobble curve showing the resonance of the probe: Note: The wobble routine is not very accurate and is NOT intended for adjusting the tune and match on the probe.
Page 118 Configuration Fourier match.app Gives and indication of the reflected power at a given frequency: Note: The values on the scale are arbitrary and do not represent the reflected power in Z31980_00_03...
Page 119: Pulse Programming
Any change on the Avance pulse program only takes effect on the experi- ment if the Fourier pulse program is changed as well. Bruker delivers a set of well tested pulse programs for the Fourier to cover the intended use of the Fourier spectrometer.

Page 125 Pulse Programming </P_LOOP> Everything between the first and the second <P_LOOP> structure is repeated l4 times. Channel assignment: The complete 2 channel pulse program needs to know which pulses belong to which channel. Therefore, tags to define one complete channel are also necessary. The fre- quencies and transmitter paths for the channels are defined by edasp.
