InsightMR requries TopSpin 3.5.pl2 or higher.
Insight software download (includes TopSpin and InsightMR)
https://www.bruker.com/service/support-upgrades/software-downloads/nmr.html
InsightMR software can be installed from the  TopSpin DVD (TopSpin 3.5.pl5 and above for
windows and 3.5.pl6 and above for Linux). It can also be downloaded from the web page as
an ISO image of the TopSpin DVD or as a separate executable file. The downloadable file (>
700  Mb)  is  a  compressed  self-extracting  executable  that  contains  TopSpin,  IconNMR,
InsightMR, Diskless and Flexlm.
InsightMR license request (hostID needed)
https://www.bruker.com/nmr_license_requests.html
InsightMR  does  not  require  an  extra  license  when  operated  connected  to  a  Bruker
spectrometer (new from February 2017). The spectrometer needs to have a valid TopSpin 3
or above license.
Off-line analysis is supported by Dynamics Center, which does not require an extra license
either.
If  the  user  operates  in  conditions  different  from  above,  please  contact  your  local  Bruker
representative.  Three  months  demo  licenses  can  also  be  requested  through  the  license
request page. Once the software is installed the host-ID is visible under the Help | About tab.
InsightMR software installation
InsightMR must be installed together with the TopSpin’s and IconNMR’s versions included in
the executable, ISO image or DVD. If a previous version of TopSpin exists it is recommended
to  do  a  parallel  installation  (i.e.  set  up  a  different  directory  name  for  the  new  TopSpin
installation). After the new installation expinstall (command line) is required. The user should
check that the topspin installation has been successful and topspin is fully functional before
launching insightMR. Detailed instructions on the installation procedure are below.
The following instructions should be followed to install InsightMR software:
• If TopSpin is currently installed, launch TopSpin and at the command prompt type
nmr_save to save the current configuration of the system.
Some installation and user files may be overwritten during a TopSpin installation/update.
These files are easily restored if an nmr_save is performed in advance.
• Shut down all TopSpin and related programs.
• Start the installation by either:
– Windows: After downloading the installer ReactionMonitoring<version>.zip, double-
click and execute.
– Linux: Download and install ./ReactionMonitoring<version>.sh
The <version> stands for the current program version, e.g. 1.0.7.
Note that one must have admin (Windows) or super user (Linux) rights to install the file.
