9.
Find the probe position for which changing the z1 shim will not affect the line
position.
a.
Observe the spectrum, note the initial value of the Z1 shim and the initial
position of the probe (distance between the base of the magnet and the top of
the probe base or other convenient fixed reverence point).
b.
Make a large positive change in the z1 shim.
The D
2
O resonance may move to positive or negative frequency.
c.
If the D
2
O resonance does not move go to step h.
If the D
2
O resonance does move make note of the direction and continue with
d.
Loosen the setscrews on the probe flange.
e.
Change the height of the probe by a few millimeters (either up or down may
be necessary).
f.
Tighten the setscrews and return z1 to the original value.
