1.4 THE PROCESS LIST

This section explains the process list used as fundamentals for data processing in Delta.

1.4.1 Process List

The process list describes various kinds of processing contents and the conditions for
data processing in Delta. Processing contents and conditions are described in the order of
processing.

Fig. 1.7 Process list in a 1D Processor

Process list of Process list of

the X axis the Y axis

Fig. 1.8 Process list in nD Processor

1-28 NMECA/ECX-USP-3
 1 FUNDAMENTALS OF DELTA

The process list, in which contents of standard data processing are described for typical
measurement data, is supplied. This process list is called the “standard process list”.
The standard process list is saved in the Global Process List directory.
Moreover, the standard process list suiting the measurement is set to a typical
measurement sequence. When measurement was complete, data will upload to a
workstation, standard processing set up will be performed automatically.
Seeing the processing data displayed, processing conditions can be made optimal for data
measurement, or another new data processing task can be added.
Thus, fundamental data processing for Delta will perform the process list set up.
Moreover, changing the data processing conditions described in the process list will
perform a change of the processing conditions.
The processing contents can be changed, or the newly created process list can also be
saved to a file as another process list. When performing data processing with the same
conditions, processing becomes possible by an easy operation which reads the purposed
process list.

On both sides of the hyphen “-”, a version number is added behind a file name; “.jdf” of
the file extension is appended next.
Before processing a data set, the file of a different version with the same file name as the
original data is created automatically; the original data set is never processed. Therefore,
have no fear of destroying original data. If the user saves data using the same file name,
version number may become large. Because data may also be deleted after using the
copied data for processing, it is also common for the version number of the listed file is
discontinuous.

2.2.5 Phase Correction

This corrects phase distortion of the spectrum after FFT. Both manual and automatic
phase correction are provided as methods of phase correction.

2.2.5a Automatic phase correction

Two kinds of processes, Machine Phase and Automatic Phase, are provided for
automatic phase correction.
Machine Phase is the function used to obtain a P1 phase from calculations based on
measurement conditions. This offers the advantage of the high accuracy P1 phase
correction without regard to spectrum line shape. However, Machine Phase supports
only pulse sequences for a Single Pulse.
Automatic Phase is the method of obtaining phase from the spectrum line shape.
Although the general pulse sequence is supported widely, the accuracy of phase
correction depends on the line shape and the spectrum baseline.

u Select PostTransform—Phase—Machine Phase or PostTransform—Phase—

Automatic Phase in the 1D Processor window.
Automatic phase correction processing is included in the process list.
? If you click on the Machine phase button in the 1D processor window,
Machine phase is included in the process list.

2.2.5b Manual phase correction

Zero and first order phase correction are performed manually.
There are two kinds of correction methods: changing values in the phase parameter box,
and using the cursor tool.

2.2.8 Setting a Reference

In order to obtain an exact chemical-shift value, it is necessary to perform reference
setting of the NMR spectrum
In the Delta program, the Native scale that determines the reference position from the
gamma ratio and the magnetic field strength is adopted as a standard.
It is also possible to set up the reference position correctly on the basis of the reference
peak, such as TMS.
To perform reference setting, there are the following three methods:
• Using the Reference mode of the cursor tool.
• Using the reference tool.
• Using the Reference command.

2.2.8a To set the reference using the cursor tool:

1. Select the Reference mode from the cursor tool in the processing data
display area.
2. Click on the Grab position for reference button in Reference mode.
3. Click a position to make a reference.
4. Expand the peak made by the reference - e.g. the TMS of a reference
substance, or a solvent in the direction of the X-axis.
5. Click on the Paste reference button in Reference mode.
6. Move the mouse pointer to the top of the peak to be made the reference.
7. Click on the left mouse button.

If you select Display–Reference in the 1D Processor window, you can set a reference in
an arbitrary positions. Two values of the position that sets up a reference, and a new
reference value are required in the Reference function. These values are entered into the
box displayed under the process list. Click on the Process button executing the process
list.

■ References
• Copy of a reference value
If Analysis–Ext.Reference is selected chosen in the Delta Console window, the
Copy Reference Tool window opens. If this window is used, the reference value of
the axis can be copied and pasted on top of the data of another view from one data
between two data display windows (it copies). The copy the data to is called Source.
The data of place to copy is called the Target.

Fig. 2.3 Copy Reference Tool window

• Maximum Reference command
This is used when setting the top of the signal as the reference. For example, if 0 ppm
is entered in Ref and 0.2 ppm is entered in Width, t6he new 0 ppm will be set to the
maximum signal in the range of 0.2 ppm centering on the present 0 ppm.
• Auto Reference command
If Display–Reference–Auto Reference is performed in the 1D Processor window
when an NMR data is sent from the spectrometer of JEOL GSX, and EX, Alpha or
Lambda, the macro program will calculate 0 ppm reference, and will apply to the data.
• For data other than JEOL, select Display–Reference in the 1D Processor window, or
select Analysis–Reference in the Delta Console window.
• For NMR data measured by this spectrometer, the reference is set up automatically
based on the absolute frequency of the gamma.def and solvent.def files. When you
change this reference setting, select Display–Reference in the 1D Processor window,
or select Analysis–References in the Delta Console window.
? When you read an exact frequency position in the spectrum to perform a homo-spin
decoupling experiment, use the spectrum before changing a reference automatically
or manually (in the state in which the instrument is set up initially).

2.3 Deconvolution
If you use deconvolution, overlapping NMR peaks can be separated. Separation can be
performed by optimizing a waveform parameter by approximating the observation
spectrum with which two or more peaks overlapped by superposition of the waveform of
either Lorentzian, Gaussian or hybrid models.
If deconvolution is performed, the integration value obtained from the result can be
recorded automatically to the peak information on a spreadsheet.
In order to perform deconvolution, it is necessary to carry out peak pick of the data set
first. When a peak pick is performed, the range in which deconvolution is performed is
expanded. Deconvolution is performed to all the peaks currently displayed on the
display window. However, in the case of the whole data set, a long period of time may
be required.

■ To perform deconvolution:
1. Select Options—Peak—Deconvolve from the menu of the right mouse button,
and turn ON the display of the deconvolution.
2. Select Peak mode from the cursor tool.
3. Select either Fit Lorentzian, Fit Gaussian or Fit Mixed from the button.
In Peak mode of the cursor tool, and specify a peak shape.
When you select a peak shape, deconvolution is simultaneously started.
Deconvolution is performed under iteration conditions. The χ2 value (Chi Square)
which shows the optimization result is displayed on the Delta Console window.
Optimization is repeated until the χ2 value becomes fixed.
The calculated peak is displayed in yellow. The spectrum of the difference between
the spectrum composed from the calculated peak, and the measured spectrum is
displayed in red.
4. When displaying the combined spectrum, select Options—Peak—Deconvolve
Sum from the right mouse button menu.
The combined spectrum of the calculated peak is displayed.

 3 2D NMR DATA PROCESSING

3.1.2 Domain
Delta treats each axis of NMR data set as a “domain”.
The domain contains the nucleus, the observation range of a spectrum and the processing
parameters. The only one domains of an NMR data set can be processed at one time.
This is called the “major domain”, other domains are called “minor domains”.
In order to distinguish in the order of evolution times of t1, t2, and t3 in NMR data Delta
expresses domain with notation such as x, y, z, α, β, γ, δ, and ε. The x domain
is an axis always acquired in the receiver of a spectrometer, which expresses the
evolution time domain time in which x, y and z follow in order.
Processing is performed only to the major domain of a data set. Both a major domain
and a minor domain can be replaced using the transpose command. If the transpose
command is executed n times for n-dimensional data, a major domain will return to the
first domain.

3 2D NMR DATA PROCESSING

3.1.3 Process List

Chapter 1 explains the fundamental usage of the process list. Although the fundamental
function of the process list of two-dimensional (multi-dimensions) data is the same as
that of a 1D process list, this section explains a required function using the process list of
two-dimensional (many dimensions) data.
A process list can be written for each domain of a multi-dimensional data set. It is called
a “domain list”. Each process list is finished at the transpose command. If this
transpose command is used, a major domain can be changed before processing the next
domain. The transpose command as well as the display/phase command of the 1D
Processor window cannot be deleted from the list.

■ Selecting an active domain

When selecting a domain in the nD Processor window, do the following.
u Click on the domain button on the left side of the window.
This is called “selection of an active domain”. Processing is performed only to the
selected active domain.

on the data. Processing is performed from the top to down after finishing the 1st step
of processing, processing moves to the 2nd step. A process list is added using the plus
button of the process level control button, and deleted using the minus button. Up to 4
levels of a process list can be added. A list can be selected by clicking on the green bar

3.2.10 Data Processing of Phase Sensitive 2D Data

In the case of phase sensitive 2D data, phase-correction processing and positive and
negative peak display control are necessary in addition to various kinds of data
processing for 2D data in the absolute-value display mode.

3.2.10a Phase-correction processing

If the appropriate phase-correction values are known in advance, or if the calculated
values are used as phase correction values, record phase correction values to the
processing list in the nD Processor window, and perform phase correction processing.
If the appropriate phase correction values are unknown, perform phase correction
processing in the Phase 2D window.

■ If phase correction values are known or calculated values are to be used

4.1 OUTLINE OF ARRAY MEASUREMENT DATA

PROCESSING
Array measurement data is the data set obtained when the one–dimensional data, such as
relaxation time measurement data or multi-dimensional data obtained while changing
conditions by continuous measurement are saved in a file.
Therefore, similar data processing using multi-dimension NMR data will be performed
using nD Processor or Data Slate.
Moreover, in relaxation time measurement or diffusion measurement data processing,
data analysis is performed using the Curve Analysis Tool.

Two methods of array measurement data processing follow:

• Processing all measurement data sets from the first to the nth together under the same

DATA (FID)
The simple addition of measurement data (FID) is used, for example, to enhance the
signal-to-noise ratio for more than one data set, which are measured under the same
measurement conditions.
? If the measurement temperatures are different because of long time intervals
between measurements, or the sample concentrations are different because of
quantities of solvents, the peak positions might be observed to be different between
the data sets. In such a case, the peak becomes broad or multiple when measurement
data (FID) are added, so that the S/N ratio is not enhanced.

8 TREATMENT OF 3D DATA

8.2 SLICE OPERATION OF 3D DATA

It is necessary to display or print many slice data for analyzing the 3D data. The 3D
Viewer window and the Data Slate window are not fit for such work. In these processes,
you can use the 3D Slicer window or the 3D Slice Plotter window.

8.2.1 How to Use 3D Slicer

3D Slicer has two functions. One method extracts the two-dimensional spectrum that is
slice perpendicular to any specific position in the 1D data projected on any axis; the
other method extracts the one-dimensional spectrum perpendicular to the specified
position in the 2D data projected on any plane. The projection axis and plane can be
selected arbitrarily.
For example, in order to display the XZ slice plane at the specified point on the Y-axis,
operate as follows.

1. Select Viewers—3D Slicer from the menu bar of the Delta Console window.

The 3D Slicer window opens.

2. Read 3-dimensional data into the 3D Slicer window.

the data of the 1D data display area changes to the projection data on Y axis.

5. Determine a slice position as follows.

a. Select Pick mode using the cursor tool of the 1D data display area.
b. Click on the Pick position button in the Pick mode.
c. Click at a position to slice in the 1D data display area.
The pick position marker is displayed at the position where you clicked, and a slice
plane is displayed in the 2D data display area.

8 TREATMENT OF 3D DATA

8.2.2 How to Use 3D Slice Plotter

3D Slice Plotter specifies a slice position in the projection data, and prints out the slice
data. You can also display the slice data on a new Data Slate window without printing.
For example, in order to specify and print XZ plane data at some points of the Y-axis,
operate as follows.

1. Select Tools—3D Slice Plotter from the menu bar of the Delta Console
window.

The 3D Slice Plotter window opens.

2. Read 3D data into the 3D Slice Plotter window.
