NDF2DA

Converts an NDF to a direct-access unformatted file

Description:

This application converts an NDF to a direct-access unformatted file, which is equivalent to fixed-length records, or a data stream suitable for reading by C routines. Only one of the array components may be copied to the output file.

Usage:

ndf2da in out [comp] [noperec]

Parameters:

COMP = LITERAL (Read)
The NDF component to be copied. It may be "Data", "Quality" or "Variance". ["Data"]
IN = NDF (Read)
Input NDF data structure. The suggested default is the current NDF if one exists, otherwise it is the current value.
NOPEREC = _INTEGER (Read)
The number of data values per record of the output file. It must be positive. The suggested default is the current value. [The first dimension of the NDF]
OUT = FILENAME (Write)
Name of the output direct-access unformatted file.

Examples:

ndf2da cluster cluster.dat
This copies the data array of the NDF called cluster to a direct-access unformatted file called cluster.dat. The number of data values per record is equal to the size of the first dimension of the NDF.
ndf2da cluster cluster.dat v
This copies the variance of the NDF called cluster to a direct-access unformatted file called cluster.dat. The number of variance values per record is equal to the size of the first dimension of the NDF.
ndf2da cluster cluster.dat noperec=12
This copies the data array of the NDF called cluster to a direct-access unformatted file called cluster.dat. There are twelve data values per record in cluster.dat.
