The disclosure relates to techniques for adjusting at least one measurement parameter for a measurement protocol for a magnetic resonance examination. The techniques include providing at least one item of parameter information for adjusting a value of the at least one measurement parameter, wherein the at least one item of parameter information is provided independently of coil information for the magnetic resonance examination, and selecting a value of the at least one measurement parameter. The techniques further include transmitting the selected value to a protocol adjusting unit connected to the scanner unit of the magnetic resonance apparatus, providing coil information of the scanner unit, and automatically adjusting the value of the at least one measurement parameter based on the coil information provided.
