Help reading common data format (.cdf) files

Lypro Tue, 07/23/2019 - 01:59 pm

Can Igor read .cdf files, and if so, how does one do that? I have found some documentation about netCDF files (.nc) but that doesn't help me load .cdf files, at least as far as I can tell.

Thanks in advance.

Igor does not include the ability to load .cdf files.

Here is a tool to convert .cdf to netCDF: https://cdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/html/dttools.html

And in case your CDF has datatypes which netcdf3 classic lacks, you can also convert it to netcdf v4 which is a plain HDF5 file.
