Pulse Program Information and Properties
The nomenclature of parameters as described in Pulprog.info.
For a pulseprogram the first characters (usually up to 6, but sometimes more) specify the type of experiment, e.g. DEPT, COSY,NOESY etc..
Further properties of the pulseprogram are indicated by a two-character code, which is added to the name in alphabetical order.
For 2D experiments the mode (absolute value,phase sensitive or echo-antischo) is always indicated. H- or X-decoupling is assumed to be default for heteronuclear experiments,but not for homonuclear ones (except inad).
In case of redundant information some two-character codes may be ommitted.
The two-character codes used are the following
ar experiment for aromatic residues
at adiabatic TOCSY

Typical experiment names would be:
cosy, dept, dipsi2, hmbc, hmqc, hoesy, hsqc, inad, inept, mlev, noesy, roesy or trosy.
Inverse correlations are denoted as hmbc, hmqc or hsqc.
Experiments with a BIRD sequence in the beginning also contain a bi in the name.
1D experiments, which are analogues of 2D experiments by virtue of a selective pulse, start with sel.
Semiselective 2D experiments have the same name as the unselective version but with an s at the beginning:
scosyph <-> cosyph.
A phase-sensitive (States-TPPI, TPPI etc.) NOESY experiment with presaturation would then be:
noesy + ph + pr = noesyphpr.
In the other direction the pulseprogram hmbcgplpndqf would be
hmbc + gp + lp + nd + qf
and therefor an:
inverse correlation for long-range couplings (HMBC) with coherence selection using gradients with ":gp" syntax,
low-pass J-filter,
no decoupling
in absolute value mode.
Comments like:
;avance-version
;begin ____
;end ____
with (____ = MLEV17, DIPSI2, ...)
are evaluated by NMRSIM for the pulseprogram display and should therefor not be removed. The syntax for begin/end statements allows characters, numbers and '_'. Arithmetic operators must not be used.
The comments:
;preprocessor-flags-start
;preprocessor-flags-end
are also evaluated to identify flags used in the pulseprogram and must also not be removed.
