A ctl file or control file is a text file which describes the parameters and format of the binary data used by grads. Only with a ctl file you are able to plot a gridded binary data (except for some cases such as nc files). Here I am attching a sample ctl file used for plotting binary data. You will be able to plot nc files without a ctl file. It is by gradsnc. Kindly go through the grads tutorial for a better undestanding.....
with best wishes....

    You'd probably be happier displaying the data in IDL
if you're already doing the programming.

If you must display in GrADS, you will need to write a
'control' file that describes the data. Look in the
User's Guide under documentation on the home page.
Once you've worked with that a bit, the group can help
you with specific problems. But a blanket question
like that has no simple answer and would take pages of
reply. Get started with the documentation first.
