10 Reading CDF Files
When opening a CDF file, the software looks for one of the
following Y-axis labels:
"microvolts", "uvolts", "uv", "uau} or "millivolts", "mvolts", "mv",
"mau"
If one of these labels is not found, the software will try to
read it from an AIA.ini file, which is used to get multipliers
for non-standard file types. If there is no AIA.ini file
available, the software will try to make an estimate based on
the range of values.
If the CDF file being read is non-standard, you need to make
an AIA.ini file and put it in the data system program folder.
The file should contain the y-axis label and multiplier.
