Blind Regions

This feature will be used to select regions from your spectra which will be skipped by the calculation of the automatic phase correction and analysis algorithms such as integration, peak picking or multiplet analysis. Please note that the final Phase correction will be applied to the entire spectrum, but it will not take into account the blind regions for the calculation.

Conversely, blind regions will not be saved or searched in the Database. This will allow users to ignore areas of the spectrum which present particular challenges, whilst still being able to use the rest of the information in the spectrum (for example, ignore non-phasable signals in solvent suppressed spectra when doing quantitation).

You will be able to select the Blind Regions by following the menu 'View/Blind Regions/Add Blind Region' and clicking&dragging on the regions of interest.

In the example below, you can see how we have added a blind region to the dispersive signal of the water in order to apply an automatic phase correction to the spectrum without taking into account that signal. We can get similar result by using the cutting tool (to hide the solvent signal):

Selecting the 'Show Blind Regions Table' will display a dialog box which will allow you to save the regions, to load another 'blind regions' file, to enable/disable the highlight of the blind regions or to add additional blind regions:
 

Right clicking on any cell of the table will allow you to delete or disable the applicable blind region. You can also delete them by clicking on the red cross button

If you have previously saved any blind regions, you can use it as 'Predefined Rule' :

Clicking on the 'Open scroll down menu, you will be able to open any saved regions (including some templates for the common solvents by default).

Selecting the 'Import' option in the 'Open' scroll down menu, will allow you to load XML files containing the blind region limits.

You can use the Intelligent NMR Clipboard feature to copy the blind regions from one dataset (by Ctrl+C) and paste them into the selected pages by following the menu 'Home/Paste/NMR Blind Regions':
