Manual on relax_disp.spin_lock_offset

relax_disp.spin_lock_offset(spectrum_id=None, offset=None)

Refer to the manual for parameter explanation

The relax function relax_disp.spin_lock_offset() requires the values to be provided in ppm.

spin lock field

The offset is in the literature noted as $\Omega$, where Omega

In the literature, the values are often stated as "offset", "carrier offset", "offset of the spin-lock pulse" with values given in Hz, and have values from 0-500 to 10-20.000 Hz.

The trouble

And here comes the trouble.

Does the Hz frequency refers to RF fields applied at the 1H Larmor frequency or 15N frequency?

At page 1708 is states that w_1S = w_1 and w_eS = w_e. And in pulse sequence it states that:

Varian / VnmrJ

In some pulse sequences, the following is seen:

'trim' is a basic timeunit and the total spinlock time is calculated as 2.0*ncyc*trim
b1 = getval("b1"),                      /* spin-lock field, Hz! */  
deltadof2 = getval("deltadof2"),        /* offset for N15 spinlock */
