1. A method for providing values for control signals for a pulsed magnetic resonance spectrometer, wherein said method comprises:

  • obtaining a source pulsed magnetic resonance spectrometer and associated control electronics characterized by ms input channels and ns output channels (“

    source spectrometer”

    ), a target pulsed magnetic resonance spectrometer and associated control electronics characterized by mt input channels and nt output channels (“

    target spectrometer”

    ), and an independent control device characterized by p input channels and q output channels capable of producing independent variable signals;

    connecting at least one of said p input channels of said independent control device to at least one of said ns output channels of said source spectrometer;

    measuring at least one value of at least one output analog signal emitted by said control electronics of said source spectrometer when said control electronics are operating according to a predetermined pulse sequence;

    storing said at least one value;

    connecting at least one of said q output channels of said independent control device to at least one corresponding input of said target spectrometer;

    providing at least one signal from said independent control device to said at least one input of the control electronics of said target spectrometer;

    bringing at least one value of at least one analog output signal emitted by said control electronics of said target spectrometer to within a predetermined tolerance of a target value; and

    ,storing at least one value of said signal output by said independent control device corresponding to the value of said signal output when said analog output signal from said target spectrometer is within said predetermined tolerance of said target value,thereby providing a value for said signal provided by said independent control device to said target spectrometer required to produce a predetermined analog output signal.
