Window pull-down menu

When ID WIN-NMR or 2D WIN-NMR is first started, the appropriate maximized application or main display window ID WINNMR [Spectrum] and 2D WIN-NMR respectively appears on screen. Whereas 2D WIN-NMR has only one application window, ID WIN-NMR has three additional application windows. These four application windows (Spectrum, Preview, Relaxation and Text) may be displayed altogether (Multi Document Interface, MDI) on the screen by clicking the MDI window button, or may be displayed pairwise according to your needs by clicking one of the pairs offered in the Window pull-down menu. The active application window is indicated by the highlighted title bar (Fig. 4.3). 

Start the 1D WIN-NMR program and set-up the four MDI/application windows display as shown in Fig. 4.3 by clicking the MDI system menu button. Activate the four windows one after the other and inspect the corresponding button panels and menu bars. Iconize two of the windows and rearrange the other two so that each fills half of the display. To do this use the title bar and/or the window frames or use the Tile option in the Window pull-down menu. Check the functionality of the minimize/maximize button and of the options offered in one of the system menus. Iconize the 1D WIN-NMR program by clicking the corresponding button in the 1D WIN-NMR title bar. 

For setting up the final layout it is often convenient to choose a dual Spectrum Preview window display mode (Fig. 4.19). This is accomplished by choosing the Spectrum/Preview option in the Window pull-down menu of ID WIN-NMR. 

The Window pull-down menu (Fig. 9.1) allows you to customize the position and appearance of the spectrum and report windows. 

A blank LTI window will pop up. The first task would be to poke into features supported under the File and Tools pull-down menus and see what we can achieve via point-and-click. There is also a Help pull-down menu, which activates the Help Window. 

Now, go to the LTI Viewer window and select Import under the File pull-down menu. A dialog box will pop out to help import the transfer function objects. By default, a unit step response will be generated. Click on the axis with the right mouse button to retrieve a popup menu that will provide options for other plot types, for toggling the object to be plotted, and other features. With a step response plot, the Characteristics feature of the pop-up menu can identify the peak time, rise time, and settling time of an underdamped response. 

All we need is to drag-and-drop the icons that we need from the toolboxes into a blank model window. If this window is not there, open a new one with the File pull-down menu. From here on, putting a feedback loop together to do a simulation is largely a point-and-click activity. An example of what Simulink can generate is shown in Fig. M5.3. 

For curious minds The first time you use the PID controllers, drag the icon onto a new simulation window, select the icon and then Look under mask under the Edit pull-down menu. You will see how the controllers are put together. The simple PID controller is... 

The default is a proportional controller, but the K block in Fig. M6.1 can easily be changed to become a PI, PD, or PID controller. The change can be accomplished in different ways. One is to retrieve the compensator-editing window by clicking on the K block or by using the Tools pull-down menu. The other is to use the set of arrow tools in the root locus window to add or move open-loop poles and zeros associated with the compensator. 

To switch between windows, we can use two methods. All of my screen captures shown recently show the Probe window occupying the entire window. In this mode we use the menus to switch between windows. Select Window from the Probe menus. The pull-down menu displays which window is currently selected and allows us to select a different window ... 

If using Word 97 or Word 2000, start the Resume Wizard by selecting "New" under the File pull-down menu. This brings up a window with multiple tabs. Select the "Other Documents" tab. Within that interface, icons for several different templates and Wizards will appear. Scroll down and then double-click on the Resume Wizard icon. 

For automatic data transfer and data conversion choose the Open option from the File pull-down menu in either ID WIN-NMR or 2D WIN-NMR in exactly the same way as for data files already stored on your PC hard disk. Open directly transfers and automatically converts (UXNMR/XWINNMR-data) ID or 2D data sets and shows the NMR data in the corresponding WIN-NMR application window for immediate processing. The processed data will not automatically be stored in the WINNMR format. 

The corresponding 2D data file in the WINNMR format has been stored as D NMRDATA FORMAT DISNMR 2D HH HHDIS 001001.SER. Check this with 2D WIN-NMR or with your WINDOWS file manager (WINDOWS Explorer). To start this file manager from within 2D WIN-NMR select File Manager in the File pull-down menu. The original DISNMR format 2D file, stored in the D NMRDATA FORMAT DISNMR 2D HH directory is not visible from within 2D WIN-NMR. 

Start the ID WIN-NMR program and from the first Help menu choose the Contents submenu to access the introductory remarks and the main Help menu. Click on the item FID- and Spectrum Window and select the topic Pull Down Menu. Further items appear. Select File and then Filecopy Convert. Here you will find all the necessary information for the transfer of UXNMR/XWINNMR files from a remote computer to your PC. Use the Up button to move up from one level to the other, back to the main Help menu and the Close button to exit the Help tool. 

Window This pull-down menu is only available with ID WIN-NMR and is used to select and arrange the four different windows ID WINNMR [Spectrum], -[Relaxation], -[Preview] and -[Text]. ... 

Now choose the File Manager option in the ID WIN-NMR File pull-down menu which will show the 1D WIN-NMR application window and the WINDOWS file manager window in a dual display mode (Fig. 4.6). In the directory D NMRDATA GLUCOSE 1D H GH check that there is a new entry for the 1D proton spectrum stored above. 

This section describes the function of the most important buttons in the button panel (Fig. 4.2). Some of the additional options available within the Display pull-down menu in the main menu bar of 1D WIN-NMR and the function of scroll bars and function keys will be discussed in sections 4.5.2 and 4.5.3 respectively. All affect the display of a spectrum or FID in the ID WIN-NMR [Spectrum] window. The display buttons (Fig. 4.7) are available, whenever the ID WIN-NMR program has been started. 

Click this button to exit from the current button panel mode, and return to the display ground state of the spectrum window from which another function with its own button panel mode may be chosen. Selecting an entry from the pull-down menu bar in the main menu automatically causes a change in the display ground state of the spectrum window. The Return key on the keyboard has the same function. 

Sends the plot as a vector-oriented metafile to the MS-WINDOWS clipboard from where it can be transferred into any other MS-WINDOWS program. The plot area of the output is taken from the currently displayed area in the Spectrum window. Parameter lists and the title cannot be transferred using this method. They can be copied by transferring the output, including the title and lists, first into the Preview window, from where it may be copied to the MS-WINDOWS clipboard using the Copy option in the Edit pull-down menu in the Preview window menu bar. 

Use the same 2D spectrum to become familiar with all the Window options available in the Display pull-down menu. Display the full 2D spectrum at normal size (512x512). Click on the Create button and in an empty part of the display create a window. Now select a region you want to expand and copy it into the newly created window. Create a second window and expand a second part of your 2D spectrum. Use the Help tool for further information on how to do this and to display the axis within these windows. 

This section gives an overview of the most important options for plotting spectra available in the Output pull-down menu of 2D WIN-NMR (Fig. 4.30). These options affect the output of the 2D spectrum, its projection spectra in Fl and F2, the title text and the parameter lists. The 2D spectrum and corresponding projection spectra, either calculated from the 2D data itself or separately measured as a standard 1D spectrum can be displayed on the screen in the 2D WIN-NMR window or sent directly to a hardcopy device. 

An additional feature, the Preview window, accessible with the Preview button from within the Page Setup... sub-menu in the Output pull-down menu, displays an exact copy of your plot (WYSIWYG). It is recommended that you exploit this useful option and inspect the layout in this Preview window prior to plotting your 2D NMR spectra in order to avoid a waste of paper and time. 

To start the printout operation the Print... option in the Output pull-down menu is used. If there is more than one window on the screen choosing the Print... option - and using the mouse - allows you to specify the window which should be plotted. If all windows should be plotted, use the Print all option. With Printer Setup... a variety of output device specific parameters defining the resolution, the paper size and other printer variables, may be set. 

Choose the Page Setup... option in the Output pull-down menu and select the plotting parameters and projections to be included in the plot. Adjust the sizes of all windows (title, parameter, spectrum) to the size of the paper sheet. Set up a title and select the parameters to be plotted. Load the defined levels with the Load button, choose different colors for the levels if you have a multicolor output device. Click the Preview button to inspect the final layout in the Preview window. Repeat these steps, load the defined levels with the Load button as before, but add additional contour levels with the Fill button. 

From the Display pull-down menu choose the Window option and create an additional window within the 2D plot to include the structural formula of glucose. Start a parallel ID WIN-NMR session and load the structure file D NMRDATA GLUCOSE GLUCOSE.WMF) into the ID WIN-NMR Preview window. Copy it into the clipboard with the Copy command in the Edit pulldown menu of ID WIN-NMR. Return to 2D WIN-NMR, activate the additional window and choose the Paste option in the Output pull-down menu. Move the mouse cursor into the additional window and initialize the transfer from the clipboard by clicking the left mouse button. Resize this window if necessary. 

Use the Copy all function in the Output pull-down menu to copy this layout into the clipboard. This copy will be used in the next Check it. Note that with Copy instead of Copy all only the active window, e.g. the contour plot window, but not the other windows will be copied into the clipboard.
