6.7.3 Configuring the Probe
The command edhead is used to make the probe specific parameters known to the
spectrometer. Modern NMR probes use a special memory called PICS to store these
data. This PICS memory can be read by the HPPR preamplifier system via a cable con-
nection. This is not available on the Fourier system. Therefore, all parameters must be
either be set manually (see below) or you should copy the probe.ph file, which is deliv-
ered with the probe to the directory
“conf/instr/FOURIER300”
before running EDHEAD. Then select the probe you have installed. The probe which
comes with the Fourier system is a DUL 13C/2H-1H Z-Grad probe.
Click on Edit Probe Parameters to define the probe. All values necessary for that are
delivered on a spec sheet which can be found in the probe case.
The most important ones are the shown here:
