The Miracle package provides two user levels, making it ideal for an extensive range of applications. Standard user mode is ideal for analysis and teaching laboratories where regular experiments are performed.
Sophisticated user mode opens instrument configuration options and complicated analysis functions, ideal for R&D and the most challenging applications.
Data analysis in Miracle is highly adaptable: it is possible to cancel or rearrange processing steps so that it becomes easy for users to access the raw data and fine-tune the analysis. The software enables users to reapply apodization with various functions, for improved comparison with other spectra.
