How to Process ID and 2D NMR Data

When submitting a sample for NMR analysis (measured either automatically or manually) you usually have access to the plotted spectrum and sometimes the raw spectral data (FID). Although it is not necessary to process the data yourself, there are a number of important reasons why you should become familiar with the basic principles and rules of NMR data processing. Generally data processing is applied  

Finally, the preparation of the plot layout is determined by the problem under investigation, the type of experiment performed and your own preferences. Suitable expansions for both ID and 2D spectra not only simplify the analysis, but make signal assignments and the evaluation of small coupling constants more reliable. 

The main steps for transforming raw ID and 2D data into the corresponding spectra are shown in Figs. 5.1 and 5.2 respectively.
