Hi Brian,

After more research, I think you probably use the coverage type to access the 
above dataset and got the
null pointer. This is because there is one or two variable in the dataset does 
not fit into the coverage type.

Such as:

Grid {
     ARRAY:
        Float32 irwin_3[time = 84574][sparse3ir = 845648];
     MAPS:
        Float64 time[time = 84574];
        Int32 sparse3ir[sparse3ir = 845648];
    } irwin_3;

I need to make some changes in the coverage data source to go around this kind 
of parameter.

Yuan
