Information Panel

The Information panel allow the user to view general information about the editor and the file that is currently being opened.  The following describes each of the fields displayed on the Information panel.

Program version

This field identifies the version of the SKTEditor that is being used.

Program build date

This field contains the date when the SKTEditor was built.  This information is generally redundant for production builds of the editor but is useful for Engineering builds.

Program build platform

This field identifies the platform on which the SKTEditor was built.

Program build compiler

This field identifies the compiler used to build the SKTEditor.

File Name

This field identifies the file that is currently being edited.  A value of New File indicates that the file has not yet been saved with a name.

CDF library version

This field identifies the version of the CDF library that is currently being used by this application. Refer to CDF documentation (http://cdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/) for more information.

CDF File Version

The version of the CDF library used to create the file.  Refer to CDF documentation ( http://cdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ) for more information.

Library Last Leap Second

The date of the last leap second known by the CDF library currently reading/writing the file.  Refer to CDF documentation ( http://cdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ) for more information.

File Last Leap Second

The date of the last leap second known by the software that created the file. The following describes possible values: Refer to CDF documentation ( http://cdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ) for more information.

CDF Encoding

A CDF's data encoding affects how its attribute entry and variable data values are stored (on disk).  Refer to CDF documentation (http://cdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/) for more information.

CDF Majority

A CDF's variable majority determines the order in which variable values (within the variable arrays) are stored in the CDF  file(s).  Refer to CDF documentation (http://cdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/) for more information.

Number of Variables

The number of variables defined in the file.

Number of Attributes

The number of attributes defined in the file.

Compression

The data compression algorithm used at the CDF file level.  Compression may also be specified at the individual variable level.  Refer to CDF documentation (http://cdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/) for more information.

Compression Percent

If compressed, the percentage of the uncompressed size of the CDF needed to store the compressed CDF.  Refer to CDF documentation (http://cdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/) for more information.

Checksum

The checksum option value for this CDF.  A value of Not Applicable is shown for versions of CDF prior to 3.2 which did not support the checksum option. For CDF version 3.2 and higher, the value is controlled by the CDF_CHECKSUM environment variable or the cdf.checksum Java property value. Refer to CDF documentation (http://cdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/) for more information.
