Abstract
Reviews developments in control and automation of conventional high power pulsed NMR spectrometers. A short introduction to the physical background and the methods is given. Automation and control of the various components of a pulsed NMR spectrometer are then illustrated and problems are discussed. Following this, concepts of spectrometer system automation are treated, using examples of home made, as well as commercial equipment. Another section is devoted to the automation of a pulsed NMR lab comprising several NMR spectrometers. Finally the application of pulsed NMR spectroscopy in industrial processing is discussed.
