DIFDAT

DIFDAT differences adjacent data points in an object, creating a new dataset with axis and data_array components. The aim is to reduce low frequency noise in a time series. If a quality component exists, DIFDAT will ignore the bad points, warning the user that bad data is present, calculating the output data value by difference*(mean spacing/gap). DIFDAT also works on primitive datasets and HDS files with irregular axes, although in this case DIFDAT is less applicable and the user is warned that it is irregular.
