XWIN-PLOT to Word or PowerPoint From ARX500

Procedure 1

1. Process nmr spectrum on XWINNMR.

2. Use XWIN-PLOT to disply the spectrum

3. Open an Unix window, type cd /u/data/user_id/, the user_id is the login ID

4. Type snapshot; get image of the spectrum by snapshot and save the image file as snap.rgb

5. Type imgview, Open the file snap.rgb, then save the image as file_name.jpg or file_name.gif with jpg or gif format.

6. At your PC, for Windows 2000, open control panel, then open network connection window, choose map network drive. At a pop-up window, in the drive blank choose an available drive (for example W:); In folder blank type \\nmr\data , then click finish. Now you should be able to access all nmr data on our three nmr spectrometers under directory /spectrometer name(ARX500, Avance300 or Unity300)/user_id/ on your PC by the Windows Explorer.(for Windows 98, it is better to use a free software: WS-FTP to connect to nmr workstation, then transfer data to your PC)

7. Copy the jpg or gif image file under /data/user_id/nmr to your local PC by Windows Explorer or directly insert the image file from the nmr spectrometer to Word or PowerPoint by click on menu Insert --Picture--From File under directory /spectrometer name(ARX500, Avance300 or Unity300)/user_id/.

Procedure 2

1. Process nmr spectrum on XWINNMR

2. Use XWIN-PLOT to disply the spectrum

3. At XWIN-PLOT, click file--print---setup, make sure the print type is postscript, click ok. click on to File, save file_name.ps under directory /u/data/user_id/, the user_id is the login ID

4. At your PC, for Windows 2000, open control panel, then open network connection window, choose map network drive. At a pop-up window, in the drive blank choose an available drive (for example W:); In folder blank type \\nmr\data , then click finish. Now you should be able to access all nmr data on our three nmr spectrometers under directory /spectrometer name(ARX500, Avance300 or Unity300)/user_id/ on your PC by the Windows Explorer. (for Windows 98, it is better to use a free software: WS-FTP to connect to nmr workstation, then transfer data)

5. Open the file_name.ps by GSview and Ghostscript ( low versions are free) and copy to clipboard on GSview

6. Paste to Word or PowerPoint
