cdfepoch

Construct a cdfepoch object for Common Data Format (CDF) export

Syntax

• E = cdfepoch(date)
  

Description

E = cdfepoch(date) constructs a cdfepoch object, where date is a valid string (datestr), a number (datenum) representing a date, or a cdfepoch object.

When writing data to a CDF using cdfwrite, use cdfepoch to convert MATLAB formatted dates to CDF formatted dates. The MATLAB cdfepoch object simulates the CDFEPOCH datatype in CDF files

Note    A CDF epoch is the number of milliseconds since 1-Jan-0000. MATLAB datenums are the number of days since 0-Jan-0000.
