do it is to run "expinstall" after setting things in cf. There is usually a
reminder to do that, so I assume you did, but we sometimes see these issues when
we change routings.

Good luck,

Ian.

Hi folks,

Hoping someone can help me with cortab…

I had to replace the controller PC and have installed Topspin 3.8.0 without issue.

I restored the previous installation files using nmr_save and everything appeared rosy.

However, when trying to shim on the sucrose sample (using 1H), I get this error:

and then this one:

Seems to be an issue with cortab yet the green ‘cortab available’
light shows in edasp and one can acquire 1H data without issue:

There are a bunch of files in the <TSHOME>/conf/instr/<spec>/cortab/ folder
but the cortab window looks a bit sparse to me:

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Many thanks,

Harry
