-   - The NMR frequency is read directly on the accelerator console by the Agilent 53131A Universal Counter located directly above the NMR.  The counter that is read by the computer is on the left and is the standard counter to use for the NMR frequency. ​ The NMR may also be connected to the similar counter on the right to allow comparing the frequency readout. ​ The accuracy of the NMR is determined by the accuracy of the counter so if there is disagreement in the counter frequency it needs to be checked. ​ The counters should agree to 7 digits. ​ The counters have 2 inputs and the NMR is connected to inpt #1.  Press the "Freq & Ratio" button until "​Frequency 1" is displayed to read the NMR frequency.+   - The NMR frequency is read directly on the accelerator console by the Agilent 53131A Universal Counter located directly above the NMR.  The counter that is read by the computer is on the left and is the standard counter to use for the NMR frequency. ​ The NMR may also be connected to the similar counter on the right to allow comparing the frequency readout. ​ The accuracy of the NMR is determined by the accuracy of the counter so if there is disagreement in the counter frequency it needs to be checked. ​ The counters should agree to 7 digits. ​ The counters have 2 inputs and the NMR is connected to input #1.  Press the "Freq & Ratio" button until "​Frequency 1" is displayed to read the NMR frequency.
    - If the counter is not updating the frequency readout you need to press the "​Run"​ button on the counter. ​ These counters go into remote mode when read by the computer and need to be manually placed on local mode by pressing the "​Run"​ button.    - If the counter is not updating the frequency readout you need to press the "​Run"​ button on the counter. ​ These counters go into remote mode when read by the computer and need to be manually placed on local mode by pressing the "​Run"​ button.
    - If this frequency is not close enough to the desired frequency, repeat the nmrgoto command and it should get closer. ​ The NMR moves to the entered frequency by estimating the number of steps needed to advance from the current frequency and then moving that number of steps. ​ The closer you are to the desired frequency, the closer the end result will be.    - If this frequency is not close enough to the desired frequency, repeat the nmrgoto command and it should get closer. ​ The NMR moves to the entered frequency by estimating the number of steps needed to advance from the current frequency and then moving that number of steps. ​ The closer you are to the desired frequency, the closer the end result will be.

- +   - INCREMENTAL ENERGY STEP.  A couple of routines have been written to help tune the switcher magnet and quadrupole magnets to a new energy after a good beam tune has been established at the current energy and you wish to move to a new energy (especially if the energy move is small). This routine scales the magnet currents linearly based on the ratio of the previous energy analyzer current and the new analyzer current. To use this feature (after a good tune at one energy and before attempting to change to a new energy) type the command  
 +   -- "​base"​ in the blue terminal window. This will establish the base energy from which the new energy is scaled. After tuning the analyzer magnet to the new NMR frequency"​ type the command  
 +   -- "​retune"​ in the blue terminal window and the switcher magnet and each quadrupole magnet will be set to the new value scaled by the ratio of the base analyzer current and the new analyzer current. ​
