NetCDF import & export tools
Tag specific import tools
Several Tag Manufacturer's and End Users have kindly offered the Tag Tools team datasets for use in the Tag Tools Workshops. The Tag Tools team has been working hard to develop readers, translaters or wrapper functions for different tag output formats. All reader functions output data into a common NetCDF data storage structure.
