InsightMR software compatibility
InsightMR requries TopSpin 3.5.pl2 or higher.
Insight software download (includes TopSpin and InsightMR)
https://www.bruker.com/service/support-upgrades/software-downloads/nmr.html
InsightMR software can be installed from the TopSpin DVD (TopSpin 3.5.pl5 and above for
windows and 3.5.pl6 and above for Linux). It can also be downloaded from the web page as
an ISO image of the TopSpin DVD or as a separate executable file. The downloadable file (>
700 Mb) is a compressed self-extracting executable that contains TopSpin, IconNMR,
InsightMR, Diskless and Flexlm.
InsightMR license request (hostID needed)
https://www.bruker.com/nmr_license_requests.html
InsightMR does not require an extra license when operated connected to a Bruker
spectrometer (new from February 2017). The spectrometer needs to have a valid TopSpin 3
or above license.
Off-line analysis is supported by Dynamics Center, which does not require an extra license
either.
If the user operates in conditions different from above, please contact your local Bruker
representative. Three months demo licenses can also be requested through the license
request page. Once the software is installed the host-ID is visible under the Help | About tab.
InsightMR software installation
InsightMR must be installed together with the TopSpin’s and IconNMR’s versions included in
the executable, ISO image or DVD. If a previous version of TopSpin exists it is recommended
to do a parallel installation (i.e. set up a different directory name for the new TopSpin
installation). After the new installation expinstall (command line) is required. The user should
check that the topspin installation has been successful and topspin is fully functional before
launching insightMR. Detailed instructions on the installation procedure are below.
The following instructions should be followed to install InsightMR software:
• If TopSpin is currently installed, launch TopSpin and at the command prompt type
nmr_save to save the current configuration of the system.
Some installation and user files may be overwritten during a TopSpin installation/update.
These files are easily restored if an nmr_save is performed in advance.
• Shut down all TopSpin and related programs.
• Start the installation by either:
– Windows: After downloading the installer ReactionMonitoring<version>.zip, double-
click and execute.
– Linux: Download and install ./ReactionMonitoring<version>.sh
The <version> stands for the current program version, e.g. 1.0.7.
Note that one must have admin (Windows) or super user (Linux) rights to install the file.
