open lab

I am trying to convert files from Open Lab to CDF format to use in Target processing software (Thermo). The older versions of Open Lab we have will work with Target, but the newest version that we recently installed cannot be recognized by Target. I was told that if the files can be converted to CDF format then Target should be able to process the data. Any ideas on how to accomplish this task (Ideally a batch at a time and not individually)

Among UCAR NetCDF uitilites there is ncdump

ncdump your_file.cdf > your_file.cdl

CDL is a text file, meta-script for creation new CDF file. Binary data can be generated back from CDF using ncgen

ncgen < your_file.cdl -o new_file.cdl

Just compare what attributes are missing. Edit CDL to satisfy both data system.

Or use our approach to data format handling. UniChrom supports either native file formats as conventional like AIA NetCDF.
