6.1?General Coding GuidelinesThe NetCDF libraries are supplied to developers as source code. End users receive the libraries in compiled binary form as part of a vendors application.

6.2?Make Files for NetCDF Libraries and UtilitiesIn general the compilation is straightforward. The make files were modified after they were received from the Unidata Corporation, because they did not compile the first time on PCs. The changes needed to get the Unidata distribution to run on DOS are (1) rename the file MAKEFILE to UNIX.MK, and (6.2.1?The protocol contain some complete makefile examples for Microsoft C V6.0 running on DOS. The Microsoft C V6.0 compiler manual should be consulted for the exact meaning of the compiler and linker options.

6.2.2?The VMS and SunOS compilation instructions are in directories for those operating systems.

6.3?NetCDF Library Build OrderThe NetCDF libraries must be built in a specific order. The correct order to build the NetCDF directories is:

1.1?This guide covers the implementation of the Chromatographic Data Protocol in analytical software applications. Implementation of this protocol requires:

1.2?The Analytical Information Categories are a practical convenience for breaking down the standardization process into smaller, more manageable pieces. It is easier for developers to build consensus and produce working systems based on smaller information sets, without the burden and complexity of the hundreds of data elements contained in all the categories. The categories also assist vendors and end users in using the guide in their computing environments.

1.3?The NetCDF Data Interchange System is the container used to communicate data between applications in a way that is independent of both computer architectures and end-user applications. In essence, it is a special type of application designed for data interchange.

1.4?The Common Data Language (CDL) Template for Chromatography is a language specification of the chromatography dataset being interchanged. With the use of the NetCDF utilities, this human-readable template can be used to generate an equivalent binary file and the software subroutine calls needed for input and output of data in analytical applications.

1.5?This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
