Description of GUIs

The GUIs let students acquire data, view the Fourier transform of the data on-screen, vary basic pulse sequence parameters (such as TE and TR), and save the raw data to a Matlab .mat file.

FID_GUI

alt text

The FID GUI lets students acquire a free induction decay and see the Fourier transform (lineshape). The GUI also lets students run a flip angle calibration to find the 90 deg and 180 deg RF pulses amplitudes. The shim can be set either using the "auto shim" tool or by hand using the slider bars or text fields.

PAST BUG FIXES / REVISIONS

PENDING BUG FIXES / REVISIONS

• create a launchpad with buttons for quickly opening all of the GUIs
• allow user to use "stop" button during auto-shimming
• add gradient echo sequence (FLASH)
• add slice-select pulse sequence
• clean up any remaining timing errors in spin echo and RARE sequences
