Creating macro files in MAGICALII for Varian NMR instruments

From NMR Wiki

Users of Varian NMR systems can save themselves a lot of typing by creating macro files that contain regular vnmr commands.

The macro files should be place into user's 'vnmrsys/maclib' directory, then called from the vnmr(j) command line just by typing name of the file.

For example if you find yourself frequently typing:

wft f full aph vsadj

Just create a file vnmrsys/maclib/ftme containing the line above, then typing 'ftme' will do the trick.

One important thing to remember is that vnmr(j) program will first look for the file named ~/vnmrsys/maclib/ftme, then /vnmr/maclib/ftme (assuming that main system is installed under /vnmr path). So there is a possibility for collisions - (the same is also true for the pulse sequences).

MAGICALII macro language

In addition to regular commands, macro files can contain mini-programs written in the MAGICAL scripting language, which has simple control flow structures, loops and variable declarations. Please refer to your vnmr user programming manual for more details.
