5 Basic Procedures
This chapter will outline basic operations which are used every time a spectrum is acquired.
The  TopSpin  software  has  an  easy  to  use  work  flow-based  interface  which  guides  a  user
through all the necessary steps to obtain a spectrum. All operations are software controlled
and can be selected with a mouse click on the work flow tabs (see 1. in the TopSpin Interface
figure), which opens up a row of work flow buttons (see 2. in the TopSpin Interface figure).
The readers may skip this chapter if they are already familiar with these operations.
