JCAMP-DX FOR NMR

Following the development and publication of the JCAMP-DX protocol 4.24 and its successful implementation in the field of infrared spectroscopy, data exchange without loss of information, between systems of different origin and internal format, has become a reality. The benefits of this system-independent data transfer standard have been recognized by workers in other areas who have expressed a wish for an equivalent, compatible standard in their own fields. This publication details a protocol for the exchange of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectral data without any loss of information and in a format that is compatible with all storage media and computer systems. The protocol detailed below is designed for spectral data transfer, and its use for NMR imaging data transfer has not as yet been investigated.
