SET SCAN SHIM PARAM

ILLUSTRATION 5-12
The dialog shown in Illustration 5-12 is used to set the parameters for the “ Scan Shim”.
“ Scan Shim” function is used to assisting service engineer to find the best Passive Shimming
“ target “. Please refer to 3.5) Passive shimming for more intruction.
With Only ONE time setting here, one can execute passive shimming analysis and get a
series of simulation results simply and easily (Please refer to Illustration 5-15). The target
PPM can be from 0.01 to 100. “Shims limit” stands for the shimming chips number limitation
in each socket, and it should be less than or equal to 4. The default values are suitable to
most cases. You can also change them before run “scan passive shimming” in 3.4) to see if
better result could be generated (The better result comes from the comprehensive
consideration of the “Anticipated PPM” value and “Shims Number”. Both this two
parameter should be as small as possible).
Target PPM from 12 to 36, with delta of 0.2 and Shims Limit from 4 to 4 with delta of 1 is set
as the default value. When the best analysis results occur at the boundary, the Target PPM
value scanning range could be extended in have more analysis result around the target PPM
value. For Example: If the target is set as from 12ppm to 36ppm, while the best analysis

result is just near 12ppm, you could change the Target PPM range as from 5PPM to 14PPM
and run scanning again to see if there is an even better result could be found.
3.4 Scan passive shimming
“ Scan Shim” function is used to assisting you to find the best Passive Shimming “ target “. To
execute scanning of passive shimming with the specified target ppm and shims number limit
in each pocket, which is described in 3.4), to get the simulated shimming. A dialog, as
shown in Illustration 5-28, will appear after clicking the “scan passive shimming” command. If
this is the first-time passive shimming (NO shims in the shimholders), keep “2nd or More
Iteration shim” unchecked, and the “Shim File of Last Time” Edit Box is therefore disabled.
Please refer to Illustration 5-13.

Otherwise (there are shims already on shim holders), please check the “2nd or More Iteration
shim” and specify the psm file of last time before the current loaded map is taken. Please
refer to Illustration 5-14 for reference.

After click on “OK” Button, the brief summary of analysis result for each target is shown in
Output Window as shown in illustration 5-15. ( One can click on “Scan Para.” Button to set
parameters for scanning pass shimming. Please refer to 3.4 ”set scan shim param. ”for
reference).

After scanning is finished, one can look through the brief summary, choose the best
anticipated result and execute 3.5) “the passive shimming” with the corresponding “ settings”.
Please consider the “shims number” and the “Anticipated PPM” comprehensively with main
principle the smaller “shims number” with smaller “Anticipated PPM” the better.

3.5 Passive shimming
A dialog will appear and let you specify the passive shimming parameter as shown in
Illustration 5-16.

edit-box is therefore disabled, as shown in illustration 5-17. Otherwise (There are shims
already on shim holders), please check the “2nd or More Iteration shim” and specify the psm
file of last time before the current loaded map is taken. These items are the same as what in
3.4.
Please specify the “Target PPM” value and “Shim Limit” value you choose from “Scan passive
shimming” results (refer to 3.4). After click on “OK” button, the program will analysis, generate
and open the result with notepad. ( for detail information about the analysis result file, please
refer to section 4).
The string in the “Output Shim File” edit box is the name of the output shim file, which is
consistent with the name of the base map file as default ( Specified by user or assigned by the
software). The program will automatically add the anticipated inhomogeneity ppm value, target
ppm value to the file name, which has an extension of “.psm”. For example, if you type
“afterMech1” in this edit box as the file name, the target ppm is 13.6, the anticipated ppm is
22.5 after calculation, then the actually output shim file will be saved as the name
“afterMech1_22.5(13.6).psm” automatically. If one accept the result of the psm file and
perform shimming with it, please specify this name for the next iteration of passive shimming
if needed. (Please put this name in the “Shim File of Last Time”, as shown in Illustration 5-17.)
3.6 Stop Scan.
To interrupt the current scanning. Do not close the shimtool software when scanning passive
shimming is running.
3.7 Calculate 18 DSV ppm.
This function only for Profile / I system.

To calculate the inhomogeneity on 18 cm diameter sphere. Result will be shown in Output
Window. DATA to record down is the value after zeroing (1,0), (1,-1)and (1,1). Please refer
to the information in the illustration 5-18.

4. Passive shimming analysis result file.
Please try to find the section of "Display Shim Direction and Shim Location - Lower Delta
","Display Shim Direction and Shim Location - Upper Delta", "Display Shim Direction
and Shim Location - Lower Total “and "Display Shim Direction and Shim Location -
Upper Total" and execute passive shimming (put small shims into pockets on shim holders).
Note: the Ring index is from 1 to 6.
In the file, L1~L6 means ring1~ ring 6 on shim holder of lower side, U1~U6 means ring 1~ring
6 on shim holder of upper side. “”Nx (Sx)” means x shims(x=1,2,3,4) with North(South) pole up
putting into the specified pocket of the shim holder after the shim holder is lay on the ground
for both lower and upper shim holder. Please refer to illustration 5-19 for information.
