```
public static ExperimentalTechnique[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
    for (ExperimentalTechnique c : ExperimentalTechnique.values()) System.out.println(c);
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static ExperimentalTechnique valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - getName

public String getName()
```
  - isCrystallographic

public boolean isCrystallographic()
```
  - isNmr
```
public boolean isNmr()
```
  - getByName
```
public static ExperimentalTechnique getByName(String expTechniqueName)
```
    Returns the ExpTechnique given an experimental technique name as used in the PDB, e.g. "X-RAY DIFFRACTION" returns XRAY_DIFFRACTION
    
    Parameters:
    
    expTechniqueName - the ExpTechnique value or null if string doesn't match one of the known PDB experimental strings
    
    Returns:
  - isCrystallographic
```
public static boolean isCrystallographic(Set<ExperimentalTechnique> techniques)
```
    Given a Set of ExperimentalTechniques returns true if at least one is crystallographic
    
    Returns:
    
    true if at least 1 of the techniques is crystallographic, false if none of the techniques are crystallographic
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if input is null
  - isNmr
```
public static boolean isNmr(Set<ExperimentalTechnique> techniques)
```
    Given a Set of ExperimentalTechniques returns true if at least one is NMR
    
    Returns:
    
    true if at least 1 of the techniques is NMR, false if none of the techniques are NMR
    
    Throws:
    
    NullPointerException - if input is null
  - toString
