Dear ammrl'ers

I just need some data for comparison: What are the measured (by
you, the user) and quoted (by the manufacturer) field drift rates (in
Hz per hour) and half-height line width (with supercon shims only) for an
NMR magnet?

For instance our 400 MHz(1H) magnet from Magnex has the ff. specs:

Specified in manual Measured using H2O
--------------------------------------------------------------------
field drift (stability) | <6 Hz/hour 1H | -1.3 Hz/hour
HHLW S/C shims only | <0.2 ppm | 0.04 ppm
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,
