Harry,

You can bin the observations to 1 minute intervals using -s minute01
to access the data. However, I think what you want is the TSEC and MSEC data.

I rewrote the storage routine last year to fix a data ingest/flush bug where 
some observations are getting lost if the decoder was timed out,
and see that I never added the code back to store TSEC and MSEC 
if defined in the packing file. That data is in the flashdat structure
and the packing cparms are loaded in the dc_fcyl command in write_nldn.c,
so all I need to do is index the output array based on the packing file.
I'll do that now.
