Sorry, but I left a line out of the following paragraph.
2. PADDING (Info directly from Lindsay)
When sampling rates do not have a common clock one could use
Tim Holt's scheme by rounding up the block length for each
instrument such that in the chosen block time interval
(common for all instruments) each sample from each
instrument was guarenteed to fit within the block. Note now that
the number of samples in consecutive blocks may be different,
depending upon the relative timing of the block and instrument
sampling. This can be handled by using _FillValue for the unused
samples in the block.
Apologies
