• AffinityScreen has graduated from beta testing and is now officially available for orders on request

  • A new free binning plugin is introduced

  • Improved Signal to Noise tool 

  • New 3D viewers giving you the ‘cube view’ 

  • Many improved NMR processing functionalities 

  • Support for QOneTec SpinStudioJ format 

See how JASON version 6.1 can help you.

  • AffinityScreen:

  • wLOGSY automated analysis is now supported 

  • Binding and competition responses in the analysis settings dialog, compound results table, analysis tables, and cocktail summary widget are displayed as percentages

  • SMILEQ and qNMR: 

  • Improved Undo/Redo behaviour 

  • New Free Binning Plugin

  • Binning/bucketing analysis is implemented with a fixed, user-selected bin size

  • Bin values are reported in a new binning table, saved to .jjh5 files (can be accessed from Python scripts), and optionally can be added as labels to the NMR plot

  • When the plugin is installed, controls are added to the analysis and view panels, along with entries in the settings dialog

  • Non-linear fitting:

  • We switch our engine to Google CeresSolver libraryMultiple parts of JASON have been updated, including Fitting dialog functionality, 1D peak picking with refinement, SolidSpin plugin. The SolidSpin plugin parameters options have also been changed to give more flexibility and work better with CeresSolver

  • User experience and GUI enhancements:

  • The context menu has a revamp with a new “Canvas” submenu to group canvas-related operations as “Insert rows or columns” to the canvas and swapping items’ positions

  • Axis labels for NMR, MS and EDS plots can be switched off or aligned left, right or center. It’s controlled via Settings – NMR/MS/EDS – Axis – Common tab

  • Global settings can be saved and loaded from a file. This way the settings can be transferred between computers. See Save/Open buttons at the bottom of the Settings dialog 

  • The number of decimal places for saving NMR spectra to CSV is now can be set in Settings-General-Advanced 

  • Clean up and multiple improvements for the “fitting results” table

  • The %IDENTIFIER field can be used for the multiplet report in journal formats. For assigned molecules, the identifier shows the assigned atom number, otherwise it shows a multiplet identifier (default identifiers: A, B, …)

  • An empty, fully custom table can be created using New-Custom Table. It’s handy to add your own tabulated data to the Canvas. For example, if you want to keep your analysis in JASON, without switching to another software. Please note that, spreadsheet-style equations, charts and fitting can all be used with the custom table!

  • NMR GUI:

  • Integrals and multiplets can be adjusted (for example, their ranges changed) in the manual integrals/multiplets mode

  • NMR-Plot-Common-Advanced Features now have an option to “Autoscale Y-intensity on other spectra”. If checked, the linked zoom will cause the linked 1D spectra to autoscale vertically

  • Peak picking mode for 2D (positive/negative/both/auto) can be set separately from the 1D peak picking mode in Settings-NMR-Peaks-Advanced

  • Spectrum simulation: up to 50 spins can be specified in Simulation dialog. It could be slow if the spin system contains coupled subsystems bigger than 11 spins. Stay tuned for further improvements in future versions! 

  • Spectrum normalization in stack plots now scales the visible region only

  • Peak position labels can be hidden

  • NMR File Formats:

  • Support for QOneTec SpinStudioJ format 

  • Extended arrayed data format support for JEOL Delta. All original data including and up to 3D can be correctly loaded  

  • SolidSpin Plugin:

  • Added a simulation file for a 2-site system with quadrupolar coupling

  • Signal-to-noise tool is improved: 

  • Computed SNR is displayed on the spectrum 

  • “dsnmax” option searches for the noise region which provides the best SNR value

  • 3D spectrum viewers

  • 2D spectra can be visualised as a 3D surface plot (context menu – 3D Surface View) 

  • 3D spectra can be viewed as a “3D cube” plot. (context menu – 3D Cube View) 

  • The dialogs have tools to customize the view, add screenshots to canvas, etc. 

  • NMR processing: 

  • Several methods are implemented for the Solvent filter processing step that set the region automatically

  • Improved the interpretation of JEOL Delta sinebell parameters 

  • Extended arrayed data format support for JEOL Delta. All original data including and up to 3D can be correctly loaded 

  • OK, Reset and Cancel buttons on phase correction dialog

  • Individual phases can be applied to traces of pseudo-2D datasets. Unclick “Global” box in Phase Processing widget and click “Edit” to set individual phases per trace

  • For 2D interactive phasing: the traces on projections can be scaled up/down and moved up/down using mouse wheel and mouse wheel + SHIFT, respectively 

We also performance-tuned our software and fixed a few bugs
