How to best organize this data

Thanks Mark,
   In my situation, N is fixed and the outputs from N stations are all
numerical values. As I read from the description that Package Table is
specifically designed for data collected from instruments with very high
speed. I probably will choose Package Table. I'm just curious that are there
any other cases that we need to use Package Table.

Cheers,
Tuan.

  Packet tables are a reasonable choice here, yes. This is analogous to your third option - N 1-D datasets, with an unlimited dimension (if you'd like to use the underlying dataset API directly, instead of through the packet table API).
