We develop and maintain netCDF, but the use of netCDF in analytical chemistry is an independent effort (in other words, we know very little about the ANDI chromatography standard). We know about the article "STANDARDS FOR CHROMATOGRAPHY DATA SYSTEMS: ASTM adopts protocols for analytical data interchange (Andi)" at http://pubs.acs.org/hotartcl/tcaw/98/may/stan.html The resulting standard specification and guide may be downloaded from ASTM: E1947-98 Standard Specification for Analytical Data Interchange Protocol for Chromatographic Data http://www.astm.org/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/DATABASE.CART/PAGES/E1947.htm?L+mystore+rpwd2606 E1948-98 Standard Guide for Analytical Data Interchange Protocol for Chromatographic Data http://www.astm.org/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/DATABASE.CART/PAGES/E1948.htm?L+mystore+rpwd2606 You can also type in the keywords "analytical" or "spectroscopy" in the netCDF support email archive search box near the bottom of the netCDF web page for a bit more information about this application of netCDF and email addresses of others who have used it ... --Russ _____________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu
