Many advanced NMR (both 1D and 2D) techniques are as easy to run as a regular 1H or 13C on our spectrometers. Interestingly, some of them are even faster than the regular 13C. This entry describes an easy-to-follow instruction on how to set up those experiments.
The following document is a more complete description of how to set up and process 2D NMR experiments. Beginners should skip the discussions on how to change various experimental parameters. The default parameter settings are very easy to setup and should already take you a long way. Once you feel comfortable running 2D using the default parameters, you will find it easy to adjust many parameters.
