Adding and Editing Spectrometers
Facility staff can add or edit spectrometers through the Facility Dashboard. Each spectrometer entry is divided into several sections: Basic Information, Magnet Information, Console Information, Workstation Information, NMR Software, and Add-On Software Features. A Save Changes button saves the edited information and a Discard Changes button allows exiting without saving.
