Programs of the NMRPipe System
bruk2pipe: Bruker to NMRPipe-Format Conversion.

  bruk2pipe hdrFlags < brukSER > pipeFile
General Flags:
Flag Argument Default Description
 -in inName Bruker SER Input.
 -out outTemplate NMRPipe Output.
 -mem memMB 0 MByte Memory Buffer. (Use 0 for Auto)
 -ov Force Overwrite.
 -noext No Extract Performed (Default).
 -ext Extract Valid Points Only.
 -nodir Suppress Directory Creation.
 -nofs Suppress File Size Check.
 -verb Verbose Mode On.
Format Flags:
 -AMX SER is Bruker AMX Data (Default).
 -DMX SER is Bruker DMX Data. (Requires -decim flag.) (Implies -ext flag.)
 -AM SER is 3-Byte Bruker AM Data.
 -bo bOff 0 Byte Offset for Input. Commonly 768 to skip AM header.
 -bad bPt 8e6 Bad Point Threshold (Use 0.0 for None).
Byte-Swap Options:
 -swap Do Four-Byte Swap.
 -noswap Suppress Four-Byte Swap (Default).
 -aswap Suppress Four-Byte Swap. (Meaning is System-dependant)

Special Digital Filter Parameters from 'acqus':
 -grpdly gV 0.0 Bruker GRPDLY Value.
 -decim dV 0 Bruker DECIM Value.
 -dspfvs fV 10 Bruker DSPFVS Value, 10-13,20-23. Default = 11 for DQD mode.
 -c cV 1.0 First/Last Point Scale.
 -skip sV 4 Points to Skip in Head Correction. (Use -1 for No Correction)
 -zf Temporary Zero Fill for Speed. (Default)
 -nozf No Temporary Zero Fill.
Notes:
  By default, byte-swap is OFF for Pentium systems, and ON for other platforms.
