Thank you for your help. I tried your ctl file in grads-2.0.1 and
opengrads-2.0.1.oga. (I have used  the executable binary files from their
websites) But in both of them I got the  following error

*_______________________________________*
_______________________________________

ga-> open
tesl3hdo.ctl

Scanning description file:  tesl3hdo.ctl
Open Error:  Invalid variable record
  --> The invalid description file record is:
  --> /HDFEOS/GRIDS/NadirGrid/Data~Fields/HDO=>hdo
15  x,y,z
  The data file was not opened.
__________________________________________________________________________


Please help me in this regard
Please explain the procedure of creating ctl file from he5 files.


with regards,
midhun
