The aspects mentioned in Section 3, as well as in the context of the examples in the following Section 5, emphasize the crucial importance of the quality of raw NMR data: recognition of details in the spectra and coverage of the various levels of granularity from patterns to lines (Figure ) requires these entities to actually be captured by the measurement. The fact of these entities being embodied in the FID also precedes the use of specific nomenclature, as shown in the previous sections. For example, it is important to realize that any extra time spent on sample preparation, acquisition, and data processing pays back multiple times during data interpretation, documentation, and further downstream use. Regardless of how raw time-domain NMR data (FID) are processed to yield frequency domain spectra (e.g., FT, CRAFT; see above), every detail in acquiring the FID including but not limited to S/N, dwell time, and the dynamic range is constrained by the information contained in the FID.
