Real-Time Demonstration This demonstration runs the actual client software for the OleNMR system. The only difference is that instead of interacting with the spectrometer (which is behind our firewall), it has a "fake" (client-based) server module that responds to user inputs. Try it out!

Remote NMR Instrumentation in the Undergraduate Organic Laboratory A paper presented at the ACS Committee on Computers in Chemical Education Winter 2005 CONFCHEM on-line conference Trends and New Ideas in Chemical Education. This paper presents the case for remote access NMR in the undergraduate setting and gives a fair amount of implementation details.

Web-Based Interface Allowing 24-Hour Undergraduate Access to a 400-MHz NMR Spectrometer A presentation made at the Bruker BioSpin Midwest Regional Meeting, 2004 (PowerPoint, 41 Mb). Begins with a reminder of what undergraduates are like. Includes a mock session in PowerPoint format involving logging in, acquiring data, monitoring the instrument, spectral expansion, integration, and printing. Goes into much more detail regarding the Bruker-specific TCL modifications we made. (Note that these are totally reversible changes.)

Web-Based Interface Allowing 24-Hour Undergraduate Access to a 400-MHz NMR Spectrometer Rather large (35 Mb) PowerPoint presentation given at the 18th Biennial Conference on Chemical Education in Ames, Iowa, in 2004. Similar to the presentation made at Bruker, but without the instrument-specific details.

24/7 Dynamic OleNMR: A new paradigm for the undergraduate laboratory A presentation made in 2004 at the 227th ACS National Meeting in Anaheim, California. Presents our general schema allowing undergraduate experimentation. Discusses routine operation, student privileges, advantages, and instrumentation. Gives a basic schematic of the system and provides example of a session in pseudo-PowerPoint format.

Web-Based Interface Allowing 24-Hour Undergraduate Access to a 400-MHz NMR Spectrometer Poster presented at the 45th Experimental NMR Conference in Asilomar, California, in March, 2004. A good summary of the final design.

24/7-Dynamic NMR:A New Paradigm for the Organic Laboratory? This HTML presentation was for a departmental seminar announcing the successful conclusion of the project, September, 2003. Aimed for a broad but local audience, this presentation gives a bit about the basics of NMR spectroscopy, a history of NMR spectroscopy at St. Olaf, budget for the project, and a quick run-through of routine operation. Since we were on campus, during the seminar we ran a sample and analyzed it remotely, watching the operation with a webcam (which we have since abandoned, since really there's nothing to see).

A Modified Bruker Avance 400 MHz NMR Spectrometer Allowing 24/7 Web-Based Access by Undergraduates to Spectrometer Control and Data Analysis Material presented at the 44th Experimental NMR Conference in Savannah, Georgia, in March, 2003. This was after one summer's work (before we even had the spectrometer), shoing a work in progress. Goes into some detail regarding the hardware and software, and provides an introduction to the team model. Shows the early design for spectral viewing involving Microsoft IIS and NMRGuide that was later completely revised.

Overview This is one of the earliest documents produced in the project (12/2001,with updates after the summer of 2002). Presents the problems we faced, the solution we arrived at, what sorts of resources and constraints we had. Introduces the Team Concept central to our program and outlines the Fair Queue rules that we established. Shows the early design for instrument monitoring that was later completely replaced. Also outlines project purpose and features and gives examples of the user and programming interfaces, and goes into some detail relating to site administration.
