Re: [ferret_users] Units for Hertz (Hz)

[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Hein,
The messages you're seeing from Ferret are not an error, just a "Note" 
to let you know that Ferret doesn't do any internal conversions with 
Hertz. Ferret will store the units of Hertz, use them to label your 
plots, and write the units to output files, but it does not do any 
internal conversions using them as it does for units of time and 
distance on coordinate axes.
