Processing Varian DEPT Data
Varian’s automated DEPT pulse program generates an arrayed experiment with 4 slices, acquired with phase of the last pulse equal to 45, 90, 90, 135 degrees. The macro below FTs all slices, then combines them to yield an edited stacked plot.

First, import the data, FT and phase the first spectrum, to determine the phase correction.
