SpecMake: file conversion program, version 1.0.19, 04.06.2001 [General - Examples - Changes - Availability]   [ Go Home ]

General:

• This is the ultimate NMR spectrum file converter:
  scan in a decent print-out of the spectrum and convert it into a spectrum compatible to Bruker's WinNMR.
• This is a 16-bit program that runs under MS Windows 3.1, 9x, and NT 4.0

Examples:

To give you an idea how it works:

Scan in the part of a publication containing the desired spectrum (in this case from Inorg. Chem. 1996, 35, 3905).   Use your favorite drawing software to remove everything except for the spectrum itself.

Use SpecMake to generate the real part of an NMR spectrum.

If appropriate, SpecMake applies a Hilbert transformation to generate the imaginary part of the spectrum...

...so that one could do an inverse Fourier transformation to create an FID out of the scanned picture (not included in SpecMake)

Changes compared to version 1.0.13 (09.05.2000)

• Some internal variables have been changed from two-byte integers to four-byte integers, allowing manipulation of larger bitmaps
• Each time the main window of SpecMake receives the focus (for example when switching back from the image processing software), it checks if the file time of the displayed picture has changed and updates the display accordingly (for bitmaps only)
• There is a menu item (and keyboard short-cut) to close the displayed bitmap without leaving SpecMake
• After reading a bitmap, the value of SI is updated depending on the width of the bitmap. The default value is the next higher number of points that is a power of 2 (important for the Hilbert transformation, vide infra)
• Introduced a linewidth parameter in the conversion dialog box
• After generation of the real part of the spectrum, the imaginary part is generated via a Hilbert transform. This transformation is done only when SI is a power of two. Otherwise, the imaginary part is faked by copying the real part over
