XeprAPI - Bruker's Application Programming Interface

The XeprAPI is convenient and easy to use, making it an ideal tool for both beginners and advanced users.

The key features of the XeprAPI include: 

• Direct control and operation of Xepr
• Advanced data acquisition, processing, analysis, simulation, and visualization capabilities
• Integration with external hardware or software modules
• Rich family of python libraries allow for flexible and customizable scripting options

The XeprAPI is a versatile tool that can be applied to a wide range of EPR research applications. Some of the most common applications include:

• Simple data processing (such as applications of new digital filters)
• Automatization of single experiments (e.g. power sweeps with variable averages for time-efficient 2D data acquisition with constant S/N ratio)
• Combining Xepr with external hardware or software

Improved data acquisition in time-resolved CW-EPR experiments
Time-resolved EPR experiments are complex and require a properly tuned spectrometer and synchronization with an external laser source. Data acquisition for investigating the spin coherence time of optically pumped rigid dimers was improved with the XeprAPI, e.g., by removing low-frequency background signals. More information can be found in the publication of Dill et al. (Nature Communications, 2023, 1180).

Interface for optimum control EPR experiments
Optimum theory can be used to improve the performance and sensitivity of pulsed EPR experiments. The XeprAPI was used as a crucial interface in a feedback control optimization, in which Xepr pulse experiments were optimized with an external software solution. This way, the sensitivity of spin echo and ESEEM experiments could be increased. More information can be found in the publication of Goodwin et al. (Journal of Magnetic Resonance, 2018, 9-16).
