These spectra were acquired while the magnetic field was sweeping. This will happen on a Bruker spectrometer if you do not bother locking the field (or fixing the field when running unlocked). On rare occasions in automation, if there is difficulty in locking your sample, I have seem the spectrometer run a spectrum while sweeping the field. This however is very infrequent.

Spectra Acquired with a Sweeping Field
Have you ever seen spectra like those in the top and middle traces below and wondered what was the problem?

I see this when I run samples in protonated solvents using "topshim 1h lockoff" to shim and forget to switch the sweep off... Doh!
