Sorry, but I left a line out of the following paragraph. 2. PADDING (Info directly from Lindsay) When sampling rates do not have a common clock one could use Tim Holt's scheme by rounding up the block length for each instrument such that in the chosen block time interval (common for all instruments) each sample from each instrument was guarenteed to fit within the block. Note now that the number of samples in consecutive blocks may be different, depending upon the relative timing of the block and instrument sampling. This can be handled by using _FillValue for the unused samples in the block. Apologies -Phil
