I'm guessing you need to use the "ncdump" command-line tool with option "-c", 
as in:

  ncdump -c affy_qxy.nc

to show you all the variables, along with their types, shape, and attributes.

You can get ncdump if you install netCDF from source:

or from one of the binary Windows distributions available here:
