Hi Rainer,
I had a drifting magnet which required periodic field adjustment. I used
expinstall to update parameter files, but found all 2H experiments
needed to b updated manually. This was an XwinNMR/DRX system.
In order to use expinstall I first copied all of the active parameter
files to the default install directory for the system, in this case
/u/exp/stan/nmr/par.avance
Regards,
Phil Dennison
