I believe the AIA standard uses floats and not doubles. None of the AIA
variables are doubles.

Subject: [netcdfgroup] Chemstation can't read my files
Sent by: netcdfgroup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I'm having trouble generating files that Chemstation, and I assume
other data consumers, has trouble with. The trouble lies in the array
of intensity_values. I'm writing doubles to that array. The array is
identified as containing doubles in the variables definition section.
However, when Chemstation reads the values, it appears to be
interpreting them as longs. But AMDIS seems to be able to read
the values correctly.
I've tried adding the global attribute raw_data_intensity_format =
"Double",
but that did not help.
Below is an excerpt of an ncdump of one of my data files. Any help
steering
me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
