Abstract
With the availability of high performance networks and the increase in the number of online scientific instruments, remote instrumentation is a topic with much popularity lately, promising better instrument utilization, easier collaboration between distant organizations and diminution of travel-related costs and overhead. At NRC we needed a simple and secure method for researchers to remotely access nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) instruments located at the National Ultrahigh-Field NMR Facility for Solids for data acquisition and visualization purposes. This paper discusses the design and implementation of SpectroGrid: a simple remote instrumentation solution based on open source technologies. VNC (virtual network computing) is used as the remote control implementation, and security is provided by the grid security infrastructure (GSI) and secure shell (SSH). A discussion about the cost-saving potentials of SpectroGrid for the Canadian research community will also be given. SpectroGrid is currently being used by Canadian researchers to remotely access NMR instruments located at NRC in Ottawa.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
