Developing a Simple NMR Interface: WWNMR

We have designed and implemented an automated walkup NMR computer application for use by synthetic chemists. The Wyeth Walkup NMR (WWNMR) application is a TCL/TK graphical user interface front-end to Varian's NMR automation routines. The key feature of WWNMR is that the chemists are isolated from the spectrometer's control program (VNMR) and only enter information to WWNMR windows for a sample to be run. The resulting data can be printed out on paper, or stored on disk for easy access by all users at their desktops. Proton and carbon NMR experiments are available. An overview of the WWNMR application will be presented.
