What kind of computer is on your solution NMR? We have
more-or-less independent scheduling and usage-logging
systems that run on Unix workstations; if the instrument
runs from a Unix platform, it is a fairly simple matter
to have it keep track of who is logged in and for how long.
For instruments that run from more primitive computer
systems, we run the usage logging software from the nearest
workstation, and have control boxes sitting on RS232 ports
that enable/disable the instrument via relay contact closures.

Rudi Nunlist's ResLog software runs (or at least used to;
we actually bought a copy many years back, but never got
around to installing it) on PC clones; never could figure
out a good way to network it together so people could use
it from the widely separated locations our NMR's were in.
