PV-WAVE HDF4 Base Function Interface
The PV‑WAVE HDF4 base functions let you access all of the functions described in the NSCA HDF User’s Guide from within PV‑WAVE.
These functions are located in the library:
(UNIX) $RW_DIR/hdf-4_20/lib
(WIN) $RW_DIR\hdf-4_20\lib
For detailed information on these routines, refer to the
HDF User’s Guide at
