bruread: an NMR spectrum viewer for Bruker XWIN-NMR files

What is this?

Overview

bruread is a program that implements the routines to read and display NMR data in the Bruker XWIN-NMR format. You can display either the real or the imaginary part of the spectrum, or the FID.

The program has a command-line interface and a simple graphic display based on gnuplot. It supports mouse zoom and manual peak annotation.

Please note that this is only an NMR spectrum viewer and not a full-fledged data evaluation suite: there is no peak detection, no integration, no sophisticated menu etc. (but since the source code is available, feel free to add all this ;-)

Technical Details

System Requirements

To build the software, only a C compiler is required; please see the documentation.

The graphic display makes use of gnuplot, a free software for scientific data plotting. You need version 4 or later.

Status: Production

The software exists since 2003. It is stable. A few extensions - options for the display of NMR spectra of inorganic compounds, export to plain-text files - were introduced in 2010: Thanks to Martin Kroeker.
