How to Use These Programs WinDNMR can be used either as a lecture tool or for individual study and experimentation by students. It is easy to learn to use the program, and so students can quickly develop the facility needed for individual study. WinDNMR does not simulate operation of an NMR spectrometer, but rather deals with the changes that occur in spectra when chemical shifts and/or coupling constants are varied. Some of these NMR concepts are suitable for the sophomore organic course; many are more sophisticated and would be useful only in an advanced undergraduate spectroscopy course or in a graduate-level NMR course. As a flight simulator introduces pilots to the situations they may encounter, so an instrument simulator provides a very realistic introduction to the operation of a scientific instrument. Students can easily and quickly practice making the decisions that will need to be made when they operate a real instrument, and a much broader range of chromatographic separations becomes available to them than would be possible with a real instrument. The pedagogic advantages of using the simulator both before and after students operate the real instrument are enormous. Videodisc Browser 2.0 provides simple and convenient way to show to a class video clips from three JCE: Software videodiscs: The Periodic Table, ChemDemos, and Titration Techniques (1, 2, 3). It can also be used in advance of a class or other presentation to prepare a script linking video clips from different parts of the same side of a videodisc; these can be easily played back in whatever sequence a teacher has chosen ahead of time. Hardware and Software Requirements Programs in Series D of JCE: Software require Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or later and associated hardware as defined by Microsoft. We recommend an IBM-PC or compatible computer with a 80386 or higher processor, a minimum of 4 MB of memory, a hard disk, one floppy disk drive to install the software, a mouse, and a Windows-compatible graphics card, such as an IBM VGA or Super VGA adapter with a compatible color monitor. DOS 5.0 or later is highly recommended. Supplied on 3.5-in. disks. There are additional requirements as noted below. For Videodisc Browser 2.0 an 80486 or greater processor, at least 6 MB of RAM, and a 13-in. or larger monitor are strongly recommended. A Windows MCI driver appropriate for your videodisc player must be installed. Drivers for Pioneer (except the LD-V6000 series) and Sony players are included with the Videodisc Browser 2.0 software. Consult your videodisc player dealer about obtaining Windows MCI drivers for other players. A Level 3, CAV videodisc player must be connected to your computer through a serial port with an appropriate cable. Supported players include Pioneer LD-V2200, LD-V4200, LD-V4400, and LD-V8000; Sony LDP-1200, LDP-1450, LDP-1500, LDP-1550, LDP-2000, and LDP-3600. A video monitor, such as a television set, is needed to view the video. Literature Cited |
