The Sidebars are dedicated areas of the screen used to display frequently-used information. You can open Sidebars on both the left and right side of the screen, each holding different information. Several views are available in each Sidebar, depending on the module currently in use and the contents of the other Sidebar. Available views include Legend (all modules except Library Manager), Files (all modules except Library Manager), Reference Card Panel (Profiler, Compound Builder and Library Manager), Compound Sets (Profiler and Library Manager), Simulation (Spin Simulator) and Processing History (Processor).
Tips and Tricks
-
You can open and close the left and right sidebars independently, to display as much or as little extra information as you like.
-
Use the drop-down menu at the top of a Sidebar to choose which view you would like available in that Sidebar.
-
A Sidebar must be opened before you can access any particular view in it.
-
If you set the contents of one Sidebar to be the same as the other Sidebar, the contents of the Sidebars will simply swap sides.

Or click Remove All Overlays in the dropdown menu for the Overlay Lines section.
How do I automatically set the colors for all the current overlays or pinned compounds?
-
Click Set All to Different Colors or Set All to Default Color (
)
in the dropdown menu for the Overlay Lines
or Compound Lines section.
Tips and Tricks
-
Items in the legend are organized into sections. Many of these sections have a dropdown menu in the top right corner. If you click on this dropdown, you can see additional actions that can be performed on all the items in that section.
-
The topmost section of the Legend contains the default lines that are always available in the current module.
-
You can change the colors of the default lines in a module using the preferences for that module.
-
Each of the default lines for a module can be toggled on or off temporarily using the Legend. To change the default state of these lines, use the Preferences for the module that you would like to change.
-
Changing the color of a compound line using the Legend in Profiler is equivalent to setting a custom color using the Compound Table. The custom color is saved with the spectrum, and will be used when the spectrum is reopened.

The Reference Card Panel Sidebar view displays information about specific compounds. The displayed information includes a structure image, molecular formula and weight, alternate names and links to external reference sites. You can use this information to verify the identity of the compound that you are fitting and better understand the signature and behaviour of the compound in your sample.
The compound represented in the Reference Card Panel in Profiler and Library Manager is the compound that you currently have selected in the Compound Table. In Compound Builder, it is the compound matching the Chenomx Compound ID that you have specified in the Compound Details dialog.
The structure image for all Chenomx reference compounds have been annotated to show the atoms that contribute to each compound's NMR signature. In Profiler and Compound Builder, you can click on an atom in the structure image, and the clusters associated with it will be be selected. Likewise, when you select a cluster, the associated atoms on the structure will become highlighted.
How do I copy information from the Reference Card Panel?
-
Text can be copied by selecting the text in the reference card panel.
-
Copy the text to the clipboard by pressing Ctrl-V or Command-V.
Tips and Tricks
-
Some sections in the Reference Card Panel are collapsed by default, including Alternate Names and Alternate CAS Registry. To expand them, click the button next to the section name. Click the button again to collapse the section.
-
Each of the External Database References are links to the indicated database. Click a link to open the associated database entry in your system's web browser.

The Spectrum Details Sidebar view displays information about your currently loaded spectrum. This information appears in three sections.
The Calibration section shows a summary of the calibration parameters for the current spectrum. This includes the CSI that you selected, its concentration, and the spectrum's pH. These values cannot be edited directly in the sidebar, but you can change them by using Processor's calibration tools.
The Acquisition section displays details about how your spectrum was originally acquired and imported, including the spectrum's spectral (sweep) width, magnet frequency, pulse sequence, etc. These details are permanent and cannot be edited.
The Comments section is used for additional user comments about the spectrum. If any notes were imported from the original spectrum source, they'll appear in this section. You can replace or expand this text however you wish.
Tips and Tricks
-
You can hide any section in the Spectrum Details view by clicking on the section's title bar. Click on the title again to restore the hidden section.
-
You can only change the details in the Calibration section by using Processor's CSI and pH calibration tools.
-
You must save the spectrum to retain any changes that you have made to the Comments section.
The Processing History view in Processor tracks processing effects that you add to a spectrum, recording details about each effect and letting you edit or reverse them as needed.
