Having the ability to access directly to the processed spectrum without the need to reprocess it may be very handy. In this particular case, opening this single spectrum would take several seconds (if not minutes). Just to give a simple example: You have processed a 2D spectrum which was acquired with a NUS scheme and you have applied some additional time-consuming analysis operations (i.e. Unfortunately, this does not work well for many applications and introduce some additional difficulties. On the other hand and considering again the point that Mnova always keeps a copy of the original FID, why we don’t just save this FID plus the processing commands required to reconstruct the processed spectrum as other NMR applications do? Actually, this is a nice approach (under some circumstances) and would yield the best compression ratio achievable.
