We are using a Varian300autoSW probe, which had previously worked well with no problems spinning samples. We had switched this probe out with a solids probe for some time and when we put the liquids probe back in, the liquids probe was no longer able to spin samples. We are well aware of all of the problems with dirt in the upper bore tube or on the spinner causing problems with sample spinning and have taken to time clean each of these throroughly. We believe that somehow there is a problem with the VNMRJ (2.2D) software setting that occured after switching probes. The reason we think this is that we have an old sundisk we previously used for this instrument. When I hook up the old sundisk (vnrmj 1.1D), the sample spins with no problems. Something we think might also be relevant is the CPU running VNMRJ 2.2D reports an error message in the terminal screen: 'masSpeedWrap.c' line: 139, * Speed Controller had problem with 'S' command.
This message is clearly about the solids probe. We've searched the vnmrj manuals and throughout the internet but cannot find a solution for our VNMRJ2.2D computer not being able to spin samples or what is causing the MAS error message.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to proceed, we would be extremely grateful
Thanks
Quinn Best

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] Setting up deuterium (2H) NMR on Bruker BBO probe
Setting up deuterium (2H) NMR on Bruker BBO probe
I need to set up 2H NMR on a Bruker 600 MHz BBO probe for the first time. Can anyone give me a set of instructions? Do I run in protonated or deuterated solvent? How do I tune 2H on the BB channel? What 2H values do I need in the edprosol table? What pulse program? What hardware connections or disconnections, e.g. removing the 2H stop filter....

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] Calibration of a Bruker NMR probe
Calibration of a Bruker NMR probe
I've received a loaner probe from Bruker while ours is being repaired but I'm not getting any timely response on instructions on calibrating it for use. Anyone have a resource or documentation?
Thanks,

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] spinner problem [Varian]
spinner problem
Dear Colleagues,
my NMR system recently suffers from problems with spinning the sample. Namely, it does not regulate at the set spinning rate at all in any given period of time. The spinning frequency changes continuously and never stabilizes. I wonder what may be the reason for that? Which part of the system should I inspect in the first place looking for the solution? Thank you in advance!
All the best,
D. Kubicki

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] Probe Tuning and 90 Degree Pulses
Probe Tuning and 90 Degree Pulses
In order to get meaningful results from multiple-pulse NMR pulse sequences, it is essential that the 90° and 180° pulses are calibrated at the power levels used in the sequences (see this post for example). The calibrations are usually done on a standard sample in a well tuned and matched probe. The calibrations are typically stored in a file which is called up when setting up particular NMR experiments. It is important to know that these calibrations are correct for the particular sample of interest only when the probe is well tuned and matched. For...

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] Tuning probe failed after a dual probe was replaced with a BBI probe
Tuning probe failed after a dual probe was replaced with a BBI probe
We generally use Dual to run 13C and BBI to run 2D. After changed the probe, the command "edhead" was used to set the probe. Put the sample tube, lock the solvent, and then type "atma" to tune the probe. We always do it like this, but now we can not tune the proton after installed the BBI probe (13C is OK). The dip can not be found by "atma", and "atmm" was also not work on forming a dip. What is the most possible reason for this error? How to solve it and avoid it in the future ? Thanks. (Instrument: Bruker 400 MHz,...
