Chapter 4. The Basics

Chenomx NMR Suite includes many advanced features that help you process and analyze spectra, create custom compound signatures, and manage compound signatures and compound sets in your library. Underlying all of these advanced features is a set of more basic ones that are fundamental to the proper use of Chenomx NMR Suite. The basics include file operations, navigation, display options and preferences that directly affect your day-to-day use of Chenomx NMR Suite.

4.1 Opening Files

You can open Chenomx NMR Suite spectra files (.cnx) in Processor and Profiler, and you can use them as overlays in Processor, Profiler, Compound Builder and Spin Simulator. You can open Chenomx compound files (.xcpd) in Compound Builder, and you can open Chenomx spin simulation files (.xss) in Spin Simulator, or import them in Compound Builder.

How do I open a file?

  1. Open a module.

  2. Open the file selection dialog.

  3. Locate the folder containing the spectrum.

  4. Select the file and click Open.

  5. If the file you are opening requires importing, select import options as necessary.

Tips and Tricks

  • When you open the next or previous file, the zoom settings, selected compound and selected compound sets, where applicable, are preserved.

  • You can also open files using the Files Sidebar Panel (see “Files”). This is especially useful for skimming through sets of spectra.

  • If you want to open a Agilent spectrum named Example.fid, the raw data is stored in the file named Example.fid\fid, while the processed data is stored in the file named Example.fid\datdir\phasefile.

  • If you want to open a Bruker spectrum named Example\1, the raw data is stored in the file named Example\1\fid, while the processed data is stored in the file named Example\1\pdata\1\1r.
