The DEMO version differs from the real version in several ways:

• We really don't have an 800 MHz NMR spectrometer, an MRI Spectrometer, or a SGI Super Computer, but we have a coffee pot!
• You can type in a password, but no passwords are required.
• The DEMO version does not check to see if your login name is recognized is part of our database of login names. You may use any 6-character login name for the DEMO version.
• Anyone is allowed to add/delete their reservations and edit comments on the calendars; the standard version only allows "special authorized users" (e.g., NMR Facility Staff) to have access to calendar editing.
• The View Current Activity pages have the same format as the standard Mag Res system, but the content of these pages are static since we really don't have this equipment.
• All reservations are cancelled at 5am each day.

Spectrometer Schedules

1. If the time when the schedule was last updated on your browser (the time shown in red at the top of the schedule) is not very recent, then click on Refresh Schedule to reload the most recent schedule.
2. To reserve/unreserve time, you MUST type in a Login name of 6 characters or less. Passwords (PW) are optional on the demo version.
3. To sign up for time, click on the square next to the time period that you want to reserve. Time periods start at the time specified in the left column and last for 10 minutes.
4. To cancel your reservation, click on the square next to your name for the time period that you want to unreserve. You may NOT cancel reservations made by other users. Time periods start at the time specified in the left column and last for 10 minutes.
5. You may reserve/unreserve the entire "clock hour" (e.g., 8am-8:59am) by clicking on the button in the right column. To reserve parts of two different clock hours, click on the individual 10-minute time period buttons.
6. To submit your schedule request, click on Submit Request.
7. The schedule program will ACCEPT your request and show you the new schedule, or it will REJECT your request and explain why this occurred.

• You didn't accurately type your Login or PassWord.
• You tried to delete a reservation made by another user.
• The schedule that you were using was out of date, and another user has already reserved the same time that you wanted to reserve. If you encounter this problem, the program will automatically reload the most recent schedule. To avoid this problem, Click on Refresh Schedule BEFORE you start to reserve/unreserve time.
• The Schedule is processing a request by another user. Each schedule request requires a few seconds of computer processing, during which time no other user may also submit a request. If you encounter this problem, just try again; the request that was being processed will probably be finished before your second try.

Other Features:

• Contact the NMR Facility Staff if you want to change your Schedule PassWord.
• To change the day of the schedule, click on the Schedule Date (the date shown below the Submit Request button) and select the previous day or the next day. IMMEDIATELY click on Submit Request to load the schedule for the new day. DO NOT request time for this NEW day on the displayed schedule without clicking on Submit Request. You MUST reload the schedule for this new day.
• To change the selected spectrometer, click on the spectrometer name (at the absolute top of the schedule) and select a different spectrometer. IMMEDIATELY click on Submit Request to load the schedule for this new spectrometer. DO NOT request time for this NEW spectrometer on the displayed schedule without clicking on Submit Request. You MUST reload the schedule for this new spectrometer.
• To view the calendar, click on View Calendar.
• To view the current activity on the spectrometer, click on Current Activity. A reservation is forfeited if the spectrometer is idle for >5 minutes from the start of the reservation. The schedule will not show this forfeiture, and this forfeited time cannot be scheduled by another user. The spectrometer is then available on a first-come first-served basis.

Spectrometer Calendars

1. The Calendar shows if each entire day is RESERVED or OPEN. If only part of a day has been reserved, then no comment will appear. The calendar also shows notes regarding the type of probe or other conditions for the spectrometer scheduled for each day.
2. You can load the Schedule for a particular day by clicking on Schedule.
3. You can change the month of the Calendar at the bottom of the Calendar page.
   Only the previous month, the current month, and the next 10 months can be accessed. For example, if the current month is November 1997, and you click on View September on the October 1997 Calendar, you will view the September 1998 Calendar, not the September 1997 Calendar. Similarly, if the current month is November 1997, and you click on View October on the September 1998 Calendar, you will view the October 1997 Calendar, not the October1998 Calendar. While this is a "bug" in the program, it can be faster to cycle through months in the "wrong" direction due to this "bug".
4. Only the NMR Facility Staff and other authorized users may edit the Calendar. If you would like to reserve an entire day, please contact the NMR Facility Staff.
