Native Format

Although HDS  files are portable you are recommended to copy them to the host machine, and run application NATIVE on them for efficiency gains. NATIVE converts the data to the native format of the machine on which you issue the command. If you don't do this, every time you access the data in your NDF , this conversion process occurs. NATIVE also replaces any IEEE floating point NaN or Inf values with the appropriate Starlink bad value. The following converts all the HDS files in the current directory.

     % native "*"
