Bruker Data Processing

Introduction

Processing of spectra at the console is routinely required during data collection.  Here we describe some processing basics on Bruker spectrometers equipped with Topspin 2.0 and higher software.  The user is also refered to the extensive documention that accompany the software (under "Help").

Processing 1D Spectra Using TopSpin

1-Dimensional data sets are processed at the conclusion of the experiment using the command "fp" (Fourier transform and apply phase corrections) or "efp" (also apply exponential multiplication). 

To process a 1D experiment on the fly the user can transfer the current FID using the command "tr", then process as above.

In TopSpin, the phase correction sub-routine is initiated by the clicking the phase correction icon.  Zero and first order phase correction is applied by dragging the left mouse button over the "0" and "1" icons.
