From Steve Silber - "For moving XL spectral data to a format for NMR processor and NMR viewer. The XL series Varian spectrometers write out FID files, not spectrum files. I can take XL-series fid data on a floppy disk and use V_HELPER to generate both CDFF files for NUTS as well as a Lybrics file, and the free NMR viewer will read either one and display the fid and parameters. The CDFF version preserves the descriptive text and the acquisition date."

V_HELPER permits an IBM-AT class PC ('286 - '586) with a 5-1/4" 1.2M floppy diskette drive to read the data disks written by the XL-series spectrometers. Typically one would use the VAR2IBM program to create a DOS image of the data file, and then IBM2CDFF or IBM2LYB to move this into a format compatible with a third party processing program. Details of the various programs that are included in the suite are available on:

Cost is $95, which includes a 40+ page manual. Distribution is on a 5-1/4" diskette.
