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.

Notes:

The details of the conversion are as follows:

• the NDF array as selected by COMP is written to the unformatted file in records.

• all other NDF components are lost.
