Getting Started
This chapter provides a short and straightforward introduction on how the NMR Thermometer
works and guides you through the first steps using the NMR Thermometer. As an overview,
the steps include:
• Preparation of the edlock table if not yet done.
• Locking on the corresponding solvent used for the NMR Thermometer.
• Optimizing the shim and lock phase.
• Activating the NMR Thermometer in the variable temperature control.
• Performing self-tuning of the variable temperature unit. This will optimize the regulation
parameters for both the VT control with the sensor and the NMR Thermometer.
• Calibration of the spectrometer for measurements of real samples after the setup of the
NMR Thermometer is finished.
The edlock Menu
First we will provide a short introduction to the software implementation (edlock, edte).
Start edlock by typing edlock on the TopSpin command line. The edlock window opens up.
The new edlock (starting for TopSpin 3.0 and higher) contains both the solvent list (formerly
edsolv in the Edit Solvent Parameters figure below) and the lock parameters for every solvent
(see the The Submenu Lock figure below).
Figure 4.1: The Submenu Bar: Solvent.
The Edit Solvent Parameters window allows you to enter several parameters for the solvent,
the melting point setting, and the boiling point of the solvent:
