convertBinary2Ncdf: transform binary file to netCDF file
In ncdf.tools: Easier 'NetCDF' File Handling

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s)

This function transforms a binary data file to a netCDF file formatted in a standardized way.

convertBinary2Ncdf(file.input, date.vec, length = 1, type = numeric(), 
    type.ncdf = "NC_DOUBLE", dimensions, dimension.values, signed = TRUE, 
    var.name, long_name = var.name, var.units = "[]", scale.factor.in = 1, 
    scale.factor.out = scale.factor.in, na.value.in = -9999, 
    na.value.out = na.value.in, offset.in = 0, offset.out = offset.in)

`file.input`	character string: name of the input file.
`date.vec`	R date object: time vector for the time coordinate
`length`	integer: Length in bytes of each entry in the input file.
`type`	R data type of the data in the input file.
`type.ncdf`	character string: Desired data type in the netCDF file.
`dimensions`	character vector: Names of the dimensions in the binary file.
`dimension.values`	list: Each list element has to contain the coordinate values for the respective dimension.
`signed`	logical: Whether the binary file contains signed integer values.
`var.name`	character string: Short name of the variable in the binary file (used for the meta data in the NetCDF file).
`long_name`	character string: long name of the variable in binary file (used for the meta data in the NetCDF file).
`var.units`	character string: units of the variable (used for the meta data in the NetCDF file).
`scale.factor.in`	numeric: factor to multiply the binary input data with.
`scale.factor.out`	numeric: desired scale factor of the data in the netCDF file.
`na.value.in`	numeric: missing value for input data.
`na.value.out`	numeric: missing value for output data.
`offset.in`	numeric: offset for input data.
`offset.out`	numeric: offset for output data.
