The MVREAD program creates an empty MNMR file, and loads the contents of a spectrum processed by Varian's VNMR software.
This program is useful if you want to process your data using VNMR, but want to analyse the spectra using Pronto.
The MVREAD program is called as follows (all parameters must be specified on one line):
<Machine ID>mvread <name> <expno> <procno> <disk> <user> <VNMR_path>
A new spectrum file is created, using the first five parameters.
The VNMR_path must be a directory name. The requirements depend upon, if the spectrum to be read is a 2D or 3D spectrum.
The VNMR_path directory must contain the file curpar and a directory, datdir, containing the file phasefile.
Most of the processing parameters are obtained from the curpar file, however, sometimes MVREAD cannot guess the parameters correctly. In this case, use the mpar program to check and modify the parameters.
You should exit VNMR before running MVREAD, else you risk that VNMR hasn't flushed out the contents of the phasefile.
The VNMR_path directory must contain the file curpar and the subdirectory, datadir3d/extr, containing files of the form: dataf1f3.*
As above, the parameters are read from the curpar file, and sometimes this is not done correctly.
See the VNMR documentation for how to generate the extract files.
