This option is provided for MAT and NetCDF formats, for CODAR Totals/Combiner virtual devices only.

Include Radial Data: Yes

This is the default. All MAT and NetCDF files will include Radial data structures from all applicable CODAR stations.

Oceans 3.0 API filter: dpo_includeRadials=1

Include Radial Data: No (makes files much smaller)

Alternatively, users may use this option if they are only interested in the Totals data and wish to exclude the Radial data from the contributing CODAR stations, The advantage here is file size. Each Totals structure is about the same size as the Radials, so for a 4 station array, the file size will be reduced by 80%, causing the file to break far less often. (Files break automatically at 1 GB of memory occupied, which is larger than size on disk.) With this option selected, MAT and NetCDF files will have "_exRad" appended to their file-names.
