Hi all,
Wow, these mails are from a while ago...but finally I have a useful answer:
I put some generalized information on our BMPC2 monitoring solution, to
which Rainer alluded in January, on the new NMR-KB:
https://nmr-kb.science.uu.nl/t/bmpc-monitoring/50
If and when I can find the time, I will probably add more information to
the article.
Best,
Matthias
