Introduction
This manual is planned as a user manual with limited technical detail. The main focus is on
usability,  whereas  a  few  easy  examples  are  provided  showing  how  to  get  started  with  this
new  tool.  Through  use  of  this  manual  the  user  should  get  an  idea  for  what  the  NMR
Thermometer™ might be used for.
The comparability of data (chemical shifts) and results derived from NMR data (diffusion data,
relaxation measurements), as well as the quality of the NMR spectra, depend on an accurate
and  precise  temperature  measurement.  That  is  the  reason  why  the  temperature
measurement should ideally take place inside the NMR tube and not outside of it. In general
the temperature sensor of the probe is not reflecting the real situation inside the NMR tube.
The  NMR  Thermometer  not  only  monitors  the  temperature,  but  also  compensates  for
different heating effects (e.g. RF heating) that occur during an NMR experiment.
