Hi, I was wondering why so many pulse programs use dummy scans. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think dummy scans are supposed to correct for machine noise, however, I have found that they are somewhat unnecessary.
Can someone explain or give me some arguments in favor of dummy scans?
Check if somebody has answered this question on NMRWiki QA forum

[Question from NMRWiki Q&A forum] why is the number of scans in watergate a multiple of 8?
why is the number of scans in watergate a multiple of 8?
Hi,
In the p3919gp the number of scans is a multiple of 8 which makes optimizing this experiment a bit of a pain. can anyone explain why ns needs to be a multiple of 8
thx

[KPWU blog] [Modeller] point mutation script
point mutation script
Saw a script provided by Modeller that can quickly mutate a point to any other residues. Here is the linke <Mutate model python script by Modeller> To use the script, just type command like the following line: Example: python mutate_model.py 1t29 1699 LEU A > 1t29.log Where mutate_model.py is the script provided by Modeller 1t29 http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kpwu.wordpress.com&blog=76132&post=812&subd=kpwu&ref=&feed=1

[U. of Ottawa NMR Facility Blog] Dummy Scans
Dummy Scans
Dummy scans (DS, Bruker) or steady state scans (SS, Varian) are scans taken in an NMR acquisition before the receiver is turned on and data are collected. Each dummy scan contains all of the rf pulses, delays and gradients used in the pulse program; the only difference is that the receiver is not turned on to collect data. Dummy scans are typically used to ensure that a spin system is in a steady state before data are collected. For example, One may collect a spectrum using a relaxation delay short with respect to the T1's of some of the resonances in the spectrum. The first...

peak intensity vs number of scans
Hi,
I have a question regarding how the peak intensities change when with increase in number of scans when the data is collected on a Varian NMR spectrometer. Suppose I collect a 15N-1H HSQC spectra with 8 scans and then collect the same spectra with 16 scans, would the peak intensities be double in the 16 scan spectra as compared to the 8 scan spectra? Does anyone know how the varian spectrometer scales the intensities according to the number of scans? Any suggestion or reply to my query will be extremely useful and greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

What is the actual point of dummy scans?
