Tip of the day #6: Integrating in stacked mode

March 2nd, 2010

It is very easy integrate a stacked spectrum just by clicking on the manual integration icon and selecting the areas of interest.

Then, just select ‘Active Spectrum’ in the vertical toolbar to show the highlighted spectrum with the integrals.

To navigate through the traces, press and hold down SHIFT and use the up or down arrow keys (or the mouse scroll wheel).

Export to ASCII

Finally, you can export integration analysis to a text file by following the menu File/Save as/MestReNova Integrals.
This will generate a text file which can be loaded into Excel.

Tip of the day #3: Full View

February 3rd, 2010

This feature will bring up a miniature view of the entire working document with the active area of the spectrum highlighted in blue.

You will be able to toggle the Full View window by using the F2 key. This will allow you to get a ‘Super Fast’ panning.

If ‘Apodization’ is selected, then the ‘Full View’ switches to show the FID and the effective window function. This allows you to manipulate the FID and observe the effect on both the FID and the spectrum.

Tip of the day #2: How to measure coupling constants

January 25th, 2010

It is very easy to measure coupling constants with Mnova, just by using the Crosshair feature, which can be accessed by pressing the <C> key.

The crosshair includes information about the chemical shift and the intensity of the peak and also allows you to measure distance between peaks (or coupling constants) by clicking on the left mouse button and dragging to the desired peak.

Tip of the day #1: Zoom in modes

January 21st, 2010

Flexibility when visualizing data is very important in any graphical analytical program. One of the main capabilities from this point of view is zooming, and a number of ways of zooming are available in Mnova. There are in fact three ways to ‘Zoom In:

  • Vertical
  • Horizontal
  • Box

You can toggle from one zooming mode to another just by pressing the <Z> key. The video below illustrates these different zooming modes.

In addition, a zoom lens of 20% will be obtained by clicking on the left mouse button (after having selected the ‘zoom in’ feature by pressing the ‘Z’ key or selecting it from the toolbar or ‘View’ menu).

How to get the most out of Mnova: Introducing the ‘Tip of the Day section’

January 20th, 2010

After speaking to many of our customers at conferences, training sessions, etc., we noticed that a great proportion of our users were not very familiar with some of Mnova’s most interesting features.

Of course, you can always visit our Resources Section on our web page or contact our support team when you want to find out more about a specific issue.

However, the purpose of this section is to create a series of short articles (tips) that will help you discover essential Mnova functionalities such as: How to analyze 1H-NMR spectra and create multiplet reports ready for publishing in journal specific format, different methods for zooming, how to efficiently use the full view feature in the program, how to change the intensity of the traces of 2D NMR, and many more.

We have already published the first one: Zoom in modes, so follow this link to have a look at it.

We will publish at least one every week. Stay tuned!
