Preprocessing

jMRUI provides several preprocessing methods that operate in the time domain:

Mathematical functions to sum, subtract, average, conjugate, multiply by scalar, divide by scalar, and normalise nmr signals.
Apodisation
Cadzow
Convolution
DC correction
Conversion of echo signals to fid
ER-filter

Group delay correction
OS-filter
Phase correction
Frequency/time shift
Spectral reliability testing
Peak remover (HLSVD and HLSVDPro)
Quality
Truncation
Zero filling

HLSVD and HLSVDPro

With HLSVD and HLSVDPro filters it is possible to suppress certain components in the time domain signal. The filters are interactive and enable the user to choose the peak that should be suppressed (e.g. water peak).

ER filter

With this band-pass filter function you can select a region of interest in the spectrum to be used in further preprocessing and quantitation. This is a frequency domain operation. The selected region is then cut out from the spectrum (spectra) and inverse Fourier transformed to a time domain signal that represents the spectrum in the region that has just been selected. The number of time-domain samples and the sampling rate get reduced, as corresponds to the Nyquist conditions for the truncated spectrum, while the time-domain extent of the signal remains intact.
