Accessing and Processing NMR Data Files

Accessing NMR data files:

On a PC:

  1. The data files are uploaded to our class storage folder at \\winona.edu\dfs\community\. This folder may already be mapped on your machine as the T: drive. If it is not then use copy and paste to enter the above address into a Windows Explorer address bar.
  2. Enter your username and password.
  3. Scroll down to the sub-folder 20243000699J
  4. The data you need will be in the read-only sub-folder. You should copy all needed files to your machine for guaranteed easy access later.
  5. It is a good idea to create a shortcut to this folder by right clicking on it and selecting "send to Desktop (create shortcut)". Now you will have easy access to it in the future.

On a Mac:

  1. Open the "Finder"
  2. In the menu at the top of the screen click on "Go" and then "Connect to Server"
  3. Enter smb://files.winona.edu/classes
  4. Click Connect.
  5. Find the folder 20243000699J\readonly.
