Generic Constructs
ECS Metadata Strings:
Notes: "FR" is an abbreviation for "FREE_RANGE".
"D/T" is an abbreviation for "DATE/TIME"
(A) implies that multiple values are stored within a
single array.
A value of "Variable" indicates that this value will vary
according to the granule being processed.
"M" means class M.

******************************************************************
* Note that MeasuredParameter group has
* Class = "M" (see sample MCF file).
* Basically one needs to put DataField (SDS) names to PARAMETERNAME
* and put corresponding QA metadata to QAFlags and QAStats.
* If one has only QA metadata for whole product, instead for each
* and individual DatFiels (SDS), it's suggested to put product
* name to PARAMETERNAME.
