Download Datasets

Download

Datasets may be downloaded by selecting the Download action from the context menu, which is accessed by right-clicking on a selected dataset (or set of datasets).

Users may choose between two download formats:

• Organized for TopSpin
• Organized by Experiment

The selected datasets are packaged into a zip file and downloaded through your browser to the local Downloads folder.

All files are included, including supplemental data and any contents from the post-acquisition directory.

An `experiments.csv` file is placed in the root of the zip archive. It lists the downloaded experiments in the following format:

Dataset Metadata Files

Each individual dataset directory includes several additional files:

• provenance.prov – a W3C PROV file describing the complete provenance of the dataset
• sample_metadata.xml – an XML file containing sample information, if applicable
• experiment.csv – a single-entry CSV file describing the dataset (same format as the main experiments.csv)
• identity.xml – an internal-use XML file that can generally be ignored by users

The location of these files differs slightly depending on the organization format.

Organized for TopSpin

When Organized for TopSpin is selected, the download is structured to match the standard Bruker TopSpin format. Datasets are grouped under directories named for the spectrometer used for acquisition (e.g., NMR800-NEO, NMR600-NEO).

Each dataset resides in a subdirectory under the dataset name, with an additional level for the experiment number (EXPNO). If two datasets have the same dataset name and experiment number, the older one will have a timestamp suffix to avoid overwriting (e.g., 9_20250224000647).

The provenance.prov, sample_metadata.xml, experiment.csv, and identity.xml files are placed inside the experiment number (EXPNO) directory alongside the standard TopSpin files.

Organized by Experiment

When Organized by Experiment is selected, the download is structured so that each dataset resides in its own top-level directory named using the format:

YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS_Spectrometer_PulseProgram

Inside each of these timestamped directories:

• The Bruker dataset is nested in a folder named with the Bruker dataset name (e.g., polx, ubiquitin)
• That folder contains the experiment number as a subfolder (e.g., 5, 9, 10)
• The experiment directory contains the standard TopSpin file layout
• The dataset-specific provenance.prov, sample_metadata.xml, experiment.csv, and identity.xml files are placed in the top-level timestamped directory
