Save an item to a NetCDF or add one tag sensor or metadata variable to a NetCDF archive file.

Add one tag sensor or metadata variable to a NetCDF archive file. If the archive file does not exist, it is created. The file is assumed to be in the current working directory unless a pathname is added to the beginning of fname.

add_nc(file, X, vname)

Arguments

file	The name of the netCDF file to which to save. If the name does not include a .nc suffix, this will be added automatically.
X	The sensor data or metadata list to be saved. a list of tag sensor and/or metadata lists. Alternatively, sensor and metadata lists may be input as multiple separate unnamed inputs. Only these kind of variables can be saved in a NetCDF file because the supporting information in these structures is needed to describe the contents of the file. For non-archive and non-portable storage of variables, consider using save or various functions to write data to text files.
vname	The name of the sensor data stream to be saved. Defaults to the entry "name" from the sensor or metadata list provided by the user (but an option to specify a name is provided to faciliate calling this function from save_nc).

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# if A is in workspace,
# add_nc('dog17_124a',A)
# generates a file dog17_124a.nc (if it does not already exist) and adds a variable A.
