Dear AMMRLers,
Here is the question and the three answers that came in. Thank you for the
help. Has anyone used the automation portion of GLIDEPACK on their UNITY?
Does it work or are there problems?
Thanks again

Dear AMMRLers,
Has anyone experience with using GLIDEPACK on a Unity. Conversations with
Varian say they don't know for sure if it is compatible and "Give it a try
and let us know". I am about to give it a try but wanted to see if anyone
has done it yet.
Thanks for your help.

The responses:
1. We have a Unity, and are using portions of glidepack (various
sequences with the related macros, including NOESY1D, TOCSY1D,
HOMODEC, gHMQC, gHSQC, gHMBC, gCOSY, and others (but less
frequently). Much of glidepack is compatible with any Unity,
but it depends on your specific hardware. We have PFG and
waveform generators, so for us most everything is compatible.
Even so, our hardware is more limited than on an Inova, and I
had to directly modify sections of the NOESY1D and TOCSY1D
sequences to get them to work. So there are some issues for
some sequences. You have to look specifically at the various
hardware statements in each experiment to determine compati-
bility, but typically the sequences assume as basic a hardware
setup as possible. I don't believe there's any way around
doing as Varian suggests: try the portions you need and see
if they work. I highly recommend limiting the setups to allow
only the experiments that you have tested and therefore know
will work correctly.
2. Yes,
I've the glidepack pulse sequences and macros on a Unity. I haven't
used Glide to run it, but a few students here have. It seems to work
ok. The only problems I've come across are decoupler modes in
indirect experiments; dmm='ccg' doesn't work and has to be changed to
'ccp', with dseq='garp1'.
3. I use GLIDE on an old VXR-300 I upgraded to VXR-S status with a SPARC 5.
Running VNMR 6.1B on Solaris 2.6 and only problem is an occasional refusal
to save a fid under the correct name. I'm told there's a patch for that,
though.
