Import file format for CTD data.

Provided that the station list is imported with minimum station (event) label and latitude/longitude, all CTD profiles from one cruise are imported and archived in one dataset,

1. column contains the event label of all CTDs as defined in the station list,

column is headed by the expression "Event label" in the first row,

2. column contains geocode Depth, water [m] (1619),

3. column might contain Pressure [dbar] (715),

4. to n. column contain data (e.g. see list of oceanographic parameter as defined by WOCE,

columns are headed by the parameter names and units in the first row

After import open data set in 4D, goto config card and complete the final configuration (example: doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.737933 ).
