Although they are correct, they are always a cause of confusion. In such cases I abandoned the spectroscopic conventions in favor of a more mathematical description of processing. I prefer speed, uncompromised speed over pretty pictures and fashionable interfaces. SwaN-MR uses the same commands for both 1D and 2D spectra. SwaN-MR provides easy interfacing with old software.
Poor attention is paid to the converters.
This guideline will eventually be abandoned. These tools, if creatively used, increase the flexibility of the program. I limit my effort in programming when the possibility is given. Whenever possible I use the built-in OS functions. I pay the highest attention to suggestions arriving from users.
