Opening spectra in Sparky

From NMR Wiki

NOTE: Sparky commands shown in bold

Sparky opens three types of files:

• .ucsf - binary raw data files
• .save - plain text files containing information about spectrum display and link to corresponding .ucsf file
• .proj - plain text project files containing links to .save files and more project-specific information

Go to 'File' menu, click 'Open...', select appropriate .ucsf or .save file and click 'Open' button.

If you are starting with .ucsf file (raw data file), then you may need to:

• start sparky
• recommended: change keyboard delay setting to make interaction with software easier
• adjust display aspect ratio (vt)
• adjust contour levels (ct)
• select colors for the spectrum (also in ct)
• when opening 3D and 4D spectra you might need to select which plane is to be displayed
