Thanks everyone for the suggestions and input.. But I think I've found a
correlation. The people who aren't too bothered by the Bruker data system
are those using Topspin and it's included browser to process their data.
Unfortunately, many of us process our data off the instrument using
alternative means. We, here at Virginia Tech, use Mnova to process our data
for a number of reason. The first being we find it to be superior to all
others in processing. But also for a number of other reasons.
1) Users our trained on one processing software package in a multiplatform
environment (Mix of Burker and Agilent/Varian sytems)
2) NUS processing is included (for free) and far superior (much faster) to
Topsim
In any case, when processing outside of Topshim you rely on the file.
system to describe your data sets. Here is where Topshim fails
miserably...
1) Exp numbers for folders is wholly undescriptive...
2) Even inside the folder, one cannot tell at a glance what the experiment
is outside of 1D or 2D
Sure there are ways around this once the data is loaded into Mnova using
titles, but Bruker Topspin falls far short in this regard and I'm
astonished that you cannot give the experiment folders any kind of
descriptor.
Thanks again for the help.
