Thanks for the feedback on my question. As pointed out by multiple
people, I should have checked the tuning range of the probe (Prodigy
cryoprobe) first before trying to set up anything else. That
information is actually readily available in edprobe under "coil
parameters". As 6Li is close to deuterium it is excluded with that
probe, as it is with the iProbe on our 400MHz instrument.
When changing the current probe to our backup Smart Probe instead of
Prodigy, 6Li will appear in the list of nuclei edprosol, so if we down
the rod decide we need 6Li we can do it. But for now 7Li will just do fine.
Thanks for responding
