; qcpmg (TopSpin 2.0)
; AVANCE III
; FAU, 09/05/2007
; written by Stefan Steuernagel
; use rotor-synchronized CPMG train of refocusing pulses to create the echoes

; pulse program for quadrupolar CPMG sequence
; samples continuously, including ALL pulses and ringdown delays
; may be used with digmod digital
; important: only runs via SGU in channel 1

;parameters:
;ns : 16 * n
;d1 : recycle delay
;d3 : time to allow pulse ringdown, 10 to 100 us
;d6 : enter duration of FID
;pl1 : =120 dB, not used
;pl21 : RF power level
;pl22 : =pl21 usually, =120 dB if 180° pulses are not desired
;p3 : 90 degree pulse
;p4 : 180 degree pulse
;p25 : dummy pulse, used for showing cnst1 in ased
;l22 : # of echos to be acquired
;cnst1 : set td to number of acquired complex data points

;$COMMENT=quadrupolar CPMG sequence, samples continuously, pulses blanked out, requires DRU
;$CLASS=Solids
;$DIM=1D
