Abstract

A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) instrumentation is a complex apparatus that uses a magnetic field generated by a permanent magnet, gradient of magnetic field generated by coil and radiofrequency signal. The above set must be synchronized in order to produce images of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). The aim of this paper is to describe an implementation of an interface that allows a severe protection of NMR instrumentation from data troubleshoots and network failures. A control protocol has been developed and an electronic card has been also realized in laboratory
