You can overlay Chenomx spectra (.cnx) in any
module with a Spectrum View. Overlaying a spectrum in Compound Builder or
Spin Simulator can aid the compound signature creation process,
while overlays in Profiler and Processor can provide useful visual
references to other spectra in a dataset.

Tips and Tricks
-
You can also remove all spectrum overlays by clicking on the X beside the Overlay Lines section in the Legend.
-
You can only overlay spectra in the Chenomx NMR Suite format (
.cnx). If the spectrum you would like to use is in a different, supported format, you need to import and save it in Processor before using it as an overlay. -
In Compound Builder and Spin Simulator, you can only have one spectrum overlay at a time. In Profiler and Processor, you can have up to fifty spectrum overlays.
-
In Compound Builder, if you overlay a spectrum whose frequency does not match the magnet frequency specified in the Compound Details, you are notified of the mismatch, and given the chance to update the Compound Details to match the spectrum overlay.
-
Profiler and Compound Builder also give the possibility to ovelay the sum or subtraction lines from different Chenomx spectra. These functionalities are available from the Tools menu.
