Accessing NMR data files:

1. From a PC, click START, choose RUN enter \\STORE\CLASSES and click OK

2. Enter your username and password.

3.  Scroll down to the folder 20131000212

4. The data you need will be in the read-only subfolder. You should copy all needed files to your machine for guaranteed easy access later.

5. I recommend that you 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.

Here is the procedure for getting to the class storage folder 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://store/classes
4. Click Connect.

Installing Delta (software for processing NMR files):

• For PCs running Windows XP. Go to start menu and choose "Run". Use copy and paste to enter \\appsrv1\apps\Installs\pc\Chemistry in the dialog box that opens. Then double click the Install_Delta_XP_ONLY file. Be sure to select "Minimal" rather than "Typical" as the installation option.
• For PCs running Windows 7 or Vista: You must be on campus connected via your wired network connection. Make sure wireless is turned off during the install. 2.) Go to Start => Run 3.) Enter: \\appsrv1\apps\Installs\pc\Chemistry\Data\Delta\ and click OK 4.) Copy the file DeltaInstaller_v4.3.6.exe to your desktop. 5.) From the desktop, Right click on the DeltaInstaller_4.3.6.exe file and select properties. 6.) Click on the Compatibility tab. 7.) Check on "Run this program in compatibility mode for:". 8.) From the pull down menu select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)". 9.) Click OK at the bottom of the Properties window. 10.) Double click the DeltaInstaller_4.3.6.exe file to start the install process. Delta v4.3.6 should now install without problems. Be sure to select "Minimal" rather than "Typical" as the installation option. If it asks if you want to install for spectrometer control, press CANCEL.
• For Macs: You must be on campus connected via your wired network connection. Make sure wireless is turned off during the install. 1.) Click Go -> Connect to Server 2.) Type: smb://appsrv1.winona.edu/apps/installs/pc/Chemistry/Mac and click Connect 3.) Drag the DeltaInstaller file to your desktop 4.) Double click on the DeltaInstaller file on your desktop 5.) The installer will launch and warn that, "You need an Administrator password to install the software" -Click on the lock icon and enter your password (same as your email password) Click OK 6.) Click Next 7.) Click "I accept the terms of the License Agreement" 8.) Click Next 9.) Click Next 10.) Click Install -Click Cancel when it asks to Update Spectrometer -Click Done Delta will be installed to your Applications folder.

2. Once installed you will need to unlock the program by entering the license key, which is available at the course D2L site. Start the Delta program then select "Installation" under the file menu and enter the license key there.

3. Start up the program and please make the following changes under "Preferences" under the "File" menu:

• Under the Printer tab set "Print JEOL Logo" to FALSE, "Parameters Location" to BOTTOM, and "Plot Data Thickness" and "Plot Integral Thickness" both to 0.10. (Note: Delta is unusual in that it requires you to keep the cursor in the box when you are changing parameters.)
• Under the Processors tab set "Process 1D: Show FID" to FALSE. Click on "Save & Close"

Printing:

Preferred method is to set up Delta so you can print directly to a networked printer:

• Open up Delta and select <File> <Preferences>
• Choose <Options> then <Printer Configure>
• In the "title" box, type \\printsrv1.winona.edu\slc386 (or at the end substitute the name of your favorite network printer instead of slc386)
• In the "Printer" scroll box select the printer you just added and check that the "B&W" button is depressed and the "posterize" button is not selected. Click <save>.
• Now go to the Printer/Plotter tab (3rd from left) and click on <edit>. In the value box enter the full address of the printer again exactly as it was entered in step 3. Click <save and close> to exit out of the preferences menu.
• To print using a Mac note the following: When you attempt to primpt Delta sends the print job to the printer. However, for some reason the job is always on hold. Just manually open the printer job by going to System Preferences/Printer & Fax/ - Double click on the printer that the print job has been sent to. A new window with the name of the printer will open and show the job sent to the printer. Choose that job and hit " Resume". (You might be asked for your user name and password.)

If you are having problems setting up a printer on Delta you can use the following work around (not tested on Mac).

1. Get GPL Ghostscript 8.63 for Windows from http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/GPL/gpl863.htm.
2. Install the software on your laptop noting the directory to which it is installed.
3. Open up Delta and go to Preferences off the File menu. Click on the Printer/Plotter tab, scroll down to Ghostscript and enter the full path to the gswin32.exe file. (On most computers the path that should be entered as C:\Program Files\gs\gs8.63\bin\gswin32.exe)
4. Now you will be able to print directly to a pdf or jpg file. (The file will be saved to the D:\Data\delta\reports folder.)
5. You can print the created file out to a network computer using other software such as Adobe Reader.

Below is a procedure for printing to a networked printer on a Mac without having to set up the printer in Delta. (Thanks to Kevin Bye for figuring most of this out.)

1. Click “Plot Processed Data” button.
2. Change “Printer” drop box to “File”.
3. Click “File” button near bottom.
4. Click “Ok” to set file name, or else change file path to where you want it saved. Default is a file Delta creates, the Delta log screen shows where it was written to if you need to find it.
5. Click “Ok” and the file will be saved to the location given in Delta log screen.
6. Open the saved file, and “Save As” a PDF file.
7. Open the PDF in Adobe Reader and print it from there.
