Heike R2012-02 R66

NEW

• Pt-NMR read-out via two s.s. mini-coax. Signal Coil is connected with port #1 and #3.

TEST

• Testing Pt-NMR. Coax #1 and #3 is connected with a special box. Inside this box the inner conductor of coax #1 is grounded and the inner conductor of #3 is feed through. For details see Pt-NMR Log-Book page 20. At first glance it seems like the device works at Curie-Mode.
