The field lock is a separate NMR spectrometer within your spectrometer., l( U6 N$ f; u
This spectrometer is typically tuned to the deuterium NMR resonance" ^+ v0 g2 u( T7 e
frequency. It constantly monitors the resonance frequency of the% t( ?( R1 E1 V7 T9 U- M- ^
deuterium signal and makes minor changes in the Bo magnetic field to keep the
