What NextField does
The key activities the suite covers, in a clear, controlled flow.
Field Mapping
Static B0 magnetic field mapping on a 13×12 polar grid.
Homogeneity Analysis
Identification of critical points and reading of field variations.
F0 Compensation
Management of F0 references and drift during the work.
Live Field Adjustment
Support for manual adjustment without altering the acquired plot.
Key features
Everything needed to map, analyze and support field adjustment, in a single interface.
13×12 polar-grid mapping
Structured acquisition of the static B0 field for uniform coverage.
Guided point acquisition
A point-by-point operating sequence to reduce errors and unnecessary movements.
F0 compensation
F0 references and intermediate readings to account for drift.
PPM, absolute frequency and delta Hz
Three complementary views of the same acquired data.
Homogeneity analysis
Quick detection of out-of-tolerance points on the field.
Live Field Adjustment
Effect of manual adjustments observable during the work.
Temporary F0 reference
An adjustment F0 reference, kept separate from the official map data.
Metrolab PT2026 integration
USB/VISA connection and NMR frequency readings from the instrument.
Metrolab PT2025 support
Compatibility with instruments already in the lab or in service.
Configurable mock driver
Workflow testing, training and simulation with no instrument connected.
Modern, responsive interface
Designed for desktop and mobile devices.
Live Field Adjustment
Supports the technician during manual field adjustment, keeping data separate and traceable.
- Lets you visualize the current live frequency during adjustment.
- Records a temporary adjustment F0 reference, kept separate from the map.
- Displays the deviation in Hz and PPM against the reference.
- Keeps the official map data separate from F0 references and temporary readings.
- Supports observing the effect of manual adjustments on the field.
