Spectrometer manager: A versatile control software for pulse EPR spectrometers

A versatile control software for pulse EPR spectrometers is introduced. Common and task-specific problems are discussed and their solutions are described. The software provides the full spectrum of possibilities needed to perform arbitrary multidi- mensional pulse experiments. It allows for an easy interfacing of commonly used hardware components and enables straightforward modifications of the spectrometer. Good perfor- mance, configurability, and a number of unique features turn this software into an excellent tool for the operation of modern EPR spectrometers and upgrading old ones. © 2005 Wiley
