Getting Started

Registration

Takes very little if you follow the simple instructions. If you prefer visual cues, open the registration window and copy the number shown therein.

Palette

Open it with the command "Tools > Show Dashboard". It works best at the side of your screen; iNMR will remember its position for your next session.

Yellow Tips

Hover over any dialog item to see a help tip. Press the Command key while hovering to see a second, more detailed tip. This also works for menu items.

Annotations

Editing & Color

Drag text or images directly into a spectrum to annotate. Use "Format > Levels and Colors" to change the appearance of selected notes, arrows, or frames.

Contextual Menus

Ctrl-click any note to access a shortcut menu for fast modifications.

Automatic Annotations

The keys "l" or "L" instantly create editable notes from the spectrum title and experimental parameters. You can also automate stamps for filenames and dates in the Preferences.

Exporting Pictures

PDF Quality

Generate high-quality PDFs via the Print dialog. To ensure lines aren't too faint, increase the "Line Thickness when printing" in the Preferences.

The Window is the Frame

The size of your exported picture often matches your window size. Resize the iNMR window to match your destination (e.g., a Word doc or a slide) before using Edit > Copy.

Layout Recovery

If you mess up the layout, the Spacebar is your best friend: it’s a shortcut that reproduces a sensible, clean layout for 1D spectra.

Overlays Layering

Overlays are drawn in the order they are created. To keep the main spectrum on top of everything, duplicate the main file in the Finder and add it as the last overlay with an offset of 0.

Workflow

Digital Instruments

For modern spectrometers, set your spectral width 50-70% wider than the peak region. Leaving 2-3 ppm of pure baseline allows the automatic phase correction to outperform manual tweaking.

J-Stamping

To measure a coupling constant, use the info tool and drag from peak to peak while holding Ctrl to stamp the value. For complex systems, use the J Manager.

Customization

If you need a specific feature, reach out. We often implement tailored modifications for users within 24 hours.

2D Spectra

Fast Transposition

Press the uppercase T to instantly transpose a 2D matrix.

Noise Reduction

Use "Process > Remove t1 Noise" first, and apply symmetrization as the very last step if needed.
