1. Make sure the connections are correct according to the following picture
    a) RF out → connects to the RF splitter
    b) One output of the RF splitter → connects to the RF reference
    c) The other output of the RF splitter → connects to the 'Input' of the cold NMR circuit.
    d) The output from the cold NMR circuit should be connected to the 'Signal from the tuner'

  2. Turn ON the RF Signal Generator
    Image

  3. Turn ON the VME crate
    Image

  4. Ensure the GPIB cables is connected and the indicator is blinking (orange ↔ green)
    Image

  5. Turn ON the nuc Computer
    Image

  6. Log-in (pw: ask Kun, Ishara, Liliet, Farooq, Syed, Vaniya)
    Image

  7. Open the folder 'new_vis_2022'
    Image

  8. Open the 'README.txt' file. This file contains the original notes by Kun Liu. The following steps are also same as the ones that are mentioned in this README.txt file.
    Image

  9. Open. 'SX Virtual Link' on the Windows Menu
    Image

  10. Double-click on each component at a time and connect all the modules.
    ImageImage

  11. Open NBEclipse
    Image

  12. Click the 'search' button and wait until there is a pop-up window appears with the IP address (remember this IP address for a few minutes).
    192.168.24.146
    Image

  13. Click the 'connect' button and wait until you can see the numbers populated below the 'connect' button. If the numbers don't appear within 30 seconds, click the 'connect' button again.
    Image

  14. Click on RFSwitch3, and then click open with LabView.
    ImageImage

  15. Select the correct channel that you connected the coil (in this example was CH2), and press the run button (of the VI), and you should expect the 'green button' if the GPIB is connected properly.
    If you don't see the 'green light', then check the GPIB cable, disconnect it and re-connect, then re-start from Step 1.
    ImageImage

  16. Click on 'NMRFSwitch' VI
    Image

  17. It will ask you to select 'Netburner_cntlTCP'. Then press 'OK', and after that press 'ignore' on the load warning summary (see the images below).
    ImageImageImage

  18. On the E1039 NMR Panel, select the Channel 2 → enter the IP address from Step #12 → enter the 'Peak Center' frequency (in this example it is 213 MHz).
    ImageImage

  19. Press the VI 'run' button and then press the 'STOP' button in the VI screen next to the Channel selection drop-down list.

  20. You will see a small window appear with the setting of 'Diode tune' in the drop-down list.
    This Diode Tune for the Cold-NMR will only be done by varying the variable capacitor on the circuit. Use a small flat screwdriver with small adjustments until you start seeing the Q-curve.
    ImageImage

  21. Once you are done with the Diode Tune, switch to the 'Phase Tune' using the drop-down list.
    Image
  22. There are two adjustments that you will have to perform to get the Phase Tune → until you obtain the U-shape curve.
    a) Change the cable length that connects the RF splitter box to the reference.
    2) Change the Phase Voltate using the VI
    Image
  23. Once the Phase Tune also completed, then change the drop-down list to the 'Operational Tune' and make sure everything looks fine. You can make small adjustments to the Diode Tune and Phase Tune in this mode.
  24. Then 'STOP' the VI, and uncheck the 'Tune' toggle button, and re-run the VI. This will start taking data (the location of the data files is displayed on the VI).
