Re: PointObsDatasetFactory

John,
I have some observation data (such as http://geon.unavco.org/unavco/CDL/GPS_sample.cdl) which works in the IDV. (In PointObsDatasetFactory in your nc2.2 it is picked up as a OldUnidataPointObsDataset which has 
public class OldUnidataPointObsDataset extends PointObsDatasetImpl {
  static private String latName = "lat";
  static private String lonName = "lon";
  static private String altName = "Depth";
  static private String timeName = "timeObs";

I would like to replace variable names lat,lon,Depth,timeObs
with latitude,longitude,depth,time
to be consistent with your Unidata Observation Dataset v1.0 conventions.

But when I make that change the IDV gives
ucar.unidata.data.BadDataException: Unable to make a PointObsDataset from GPS_sample.nc 
Error = Cant find a Point/Station adapter for GPS_sample.nc
How can I make an observation data file that uses latitude,longitude,depth,time?
the variable names Depth and timeObs are ugly and not in the convention. I have a faint memory that I created them for some GEON data more than a year ago. Now I can't 
get rid of them!

Hi Stu:
Did you try using the latest nj22.jar as i mentioned in my last email? There are a number of bug fixes we need to make this work.
