JASON 4.1 arrives

With this release, JASON 4.1 supports “dark theme” on both Windows and macOS. Simply switch your OS to dark mode and JASON will turn dark!

We made a number of improvements to spectra drawing quality and their output to vector-graphics and bitmaps. Also, we made 2D contour plots more responsive on macOS. We also speed up the NUS processing on macOS.

Pulse sequence source code can be displayed as text document together with the NMR parameters.

Zip archive can be simply dragged and dropped to the canvas. JASON will automatically extract all files that it can open!

Atoms in the molecules can have custom labels. This way the atoms can be “renumbered” or marked as needed.

We made SMILEQ even faster and added a Report Editor

As usual, we made a few “under the bonnet” improvements for usability and performance and destroyed a few nasty bugs.

Welcome to the light or the dark side

Now you have choice! JASON 4.1 introduces dark mode so JASON will now follow your system settings for light or dark mode. As always, you can choose the default spectra plotting and label colors to meet your tastes. Fancy pink spectra in dark mode with green labels? No problem!

To help improve the layout appearance of your data, peak and multiplet/integral tables are now created below the spectrum giving a better visibility of the data in the table and a slightly bigger spectrum than before. If you prefer your tables to be created in a different location, remember you can use the layout rules to determine how everything is set up on a page just to your liking.

No need to unzip!

Does your data arrive to you for processing and analysis as a zip archive as part of your workflow? No worries! In JASON 4.1, we have introduced functionality so that you can now drag and drop the zip archive straight onto the canvas and JASON will automatically extract all of the files that it can open from that folder! Streamlining your workflow, one step at a time, see this in action below:

 

 

 

Custom atom labels

Have you imported an .mol or .sdf file into JASON or drawn your own structure in JASON only to find that the atom number is not what you wanted? This is a problem for you no more!

In JASON 4.1, it is simple and easy to re-number or re-name the atom labels shown on your molecule. You are not limited to just changing the numbers though, want to call two atoms 3a and 3b? We have you covered! Simply mouse of the atom you want to re-number, type “3a” and the atom is re-numbered to meet your needs.

This handy video clip shows just how simple it is!

Additional external command processing script

We have added additional external command processing script to the downloadable library to modify the frequency axis determining parameters. Visit https://www.jeoljason.com/resources-external-nmr-processing-scripts/ to download the updated package now!

 

Enhanced Linked Cursor functionality

Homonuclear NMR spectra (like COSY) has two positions on proton spectra. Now both positions are shown on a linked 1D 1H spectrum. The position from the indirect dimension is shown as a dotted line, check it out in this video:

SMILEQ enhancements

The SMILEQ plugin has been subject to several enhancements during this development cycle. The overall speed of the plugin has been improved making your qNMR analysis even quicker.

To make preparing your qNMR reports even easier, we have introduced the new Report editor. From this editor you can quickly select the report type(s) and the data contained within the reports easily all within one windows, allowing you to create all your reports in one go!
