Installing and Configuring VNMR for MATLAB

The following instructions detail the recommended procedure to install the Virtual NMR Spectrometer (VNMR) ver 2.0 on your computer. It is assumed that MATLAB (version 5 or higher) has been installed already. Simply follow these steps:
  1. Decide upon a location for the VNMR files (for example 'c:\mymatlab' directory). Create this directory.
  2. Save the attached vnmr_alpha.zip (or vnmr_alpha.tar.gz -- for Unix) file in a temp directory. Unzip it and copy the folder VS to the location you have chosen (you can save space and effort by unzipping the zipped file directly into this directory). File vnmr_alpha.zip was compressed using WinZip (Windows); file vnmr_alpha.tar.gz (Unix) should be first unzipped using gunzip and then un-tarred. The properly unzipped and copied VS folder must contain the following three (sub)folders and three files:
  3. Now you must edit the following files to tell MATLAB and VNMR where to find files on your computer:

  • NOTES on Translator: That's it! Now you are ready to launch the simulator:
    1. Launch MATLAB.
    2. At the command line prompt ( >> ) type the name of your pathfile (e.g. vs_path). You should see the 'Hello' message.
    3. To launch the Simulator, type: vsnmr. The VNMR Main Window will appear on the screen.
    4. Enjoy VNMR!
