Hi Edward.

I finally came around to make some plots and tables of the "failed" run and 
even attached them to a bug report on GNA.

I'm not sure what kind of data / dump would be helpful as an attachment. I'm 
also not sure if this is really a bug? 

How could I test for that?

Hooray chaos! I finally killed it after 190 rounds. That poor workstation would 
have worked forever I guess.

Models are not changing at all. 

Link to a plot of assigned models over the iterations (every plot corresponds 
to a single residue, y axis corresponds to models 0-9):

Have a look for yourself: I can't see any patterns. Looks like random to me.

*sigh*

You've been right, the new data I recorded with this technique do not look 
right at all. I

As mentioned earlier, I use d4 methanol which gives sharp, not too strong 
signals and really nicely fit, stable temperature calibration curves. After 
starting the R2 I don't see any differences of the distance between OH/CH3 
signals. (The peaks are a bit broader than in the simple 1D) This is true for 
the individual delays during measurement (individual planes in the pseudo-3D), 
as well as for before/after R2. The distance is the same everywhere. 

I looked into it similarly to what you suggested: more or less killed the phase 
cycle and put half of the pulses off-resonance.

Similar /enhanced plots can be found here now:

Maybe you should come around for a visit, talk to Peter Schmieder, Hartmut 
Oschkinat and Phil Selenko and then you can crush my dreams of doing anything 
useful with our system. 

That would be fun.

I process with Topspin, (zero-fill for 8k, baseline correction, forward 
prediction, set the right nc_proc, etc etc), convert to ucsf with bruk2ucsf, 
corrected for the sfo1 with ucsfdata and imported the spectra one-by-one into 
Sparky. Then copied my reference peak list onto all single spectra and saved 
the resulting peak heights.

(some of the plots are truncated for outliers)

I don't see an indication that there are significant differences between 
picking with sparky or picking with ccpn ...

Kudos for that!
