polarization is used for preparation, XPWXCAL can be run in less time than XPOLAR1
with xpol='n'. Figure 35 is a diagram of the sequence.
Applicability
XPWXCAL is available only on
UNITY
INOVA and UNITYplus. It is found in userlib.
Macro
The macro xpwxcal converts a parameter set, obtained with XPOLAR or XPOLAR1, for
the XPWXCAL experiment. Power levels and the proton 90°
° pulse width are retained. By
default, pwx=pw and phase=2.
Parameters
xpwxcal uses the
UNITY
INOVA and UNITYplus parameters tpwr, tpwrm, dpwr,
cppwr, dipolr, crossp, dblvl2, pw, and cntct. See page 85 for a description of
these parameters.
pwx is the observe 90°
° pulse length. pwx follows the contact time and, when set to 90°,
rotates the observe magnetization to the minus z axis and nulls the NMR signal. Array pwx
between the 0
° and 360° pulse. The first null is the observe 90° pulse. The signal is negative
for 180
°, null for 270°, and positive for 360°.
When the Hartmann-Hahn condition is matched for a non-spinning sample, the proton 90
°
pulse pw equals pwx. In the presence of spinning, a match that causes maximum spectral
intensity will be offset in power above or below the true Hartmann-Hahn condition. If
observe pulses are used explicitly in a sequence (TOSS, REDOR1, HETCORCP1, etc.)
pwx must be measured separately, and it is usually present as a separate parameter. For
HETCORCP1, pwx must be set to pw (by adjusting tpwrm), and pw is used for both
observe and proton pulses.
