Step-by-Step Tutorial for Configuring Autocalibration

The Autocalibration feature is essential for the GUI, running a series of five sequences to provide necessary calibration information. These sequences include:

  • Larmor
  • Autotuning
  • Noise
  • Rabi flops
  • Shimming

To ensure the proper functionality of the Autocalibration button , follow these configuration steps for each sequence:

Step 1: Select Sequence

  1. Navigate to the Custom tab on the main window.
  2. From the sequence list, select one of the five sequences: Larmor, Autotuning, Noise, Rabi flops, or Shimming.

Step 2: Configure Parameters

  1. Set the desired input parameters for the selected sequence to match your system's requirements.

Step 3: Save Configuration

  1. In the Sequence toolbar, click the Save for Calibration button to save the configuration.
  2. This action creates a .csv file in the calibration folder for the selected sequence.

Repeat these steps for each of the five sequences. Once completed, you should have five .csv files in the calibration folder, enabling the proper execution of Autocalibration.

Important Notes:

  • If these parameters are not configured, the GUI will use the last-used parameters for each calibration sequence, stored in the experiments\parameterization folder.
  • If the experiments\parameterization folder is empty (e.g., for first-time users), the GUI will default to parameters defined in the API.
  • It is strongly recommended to configure the autocalibration sequences manually to avoid relying on default parameters.

By following these steps, you ensure that Autocalibration is accurately tailored to your system's needs, leading to more precise and reliable calibration results.
