I am writing few variable as non-epoch variable with DEPEND_0. But on loading, it loads as both DEPEND_0 and DEPEND_1. I think there are few things that I could be doing wrong.

Here is the output of load CDF with this case

{"CATDESC": "The spin period as reported by the spacecraft.", "DEPEND_0": "epoch", "DISPLAY_TYPE": "time_series", "FIELDNAM": "Spin Period", "FILLVAL": np.float64(-1e+31), "FORMAT": "F10.3", "LABLAXIS": "Spin Period", "SCALETYP": "linear", "UNITS": "s", "VALIDMIN": np.float64(0.0), "VALIDMAX": np.float64(16.0), "VAR_TYPE": "data"}

Added DEPEND_0 instead of DEPEND_1, because that got me passed error at terminate_on_warning flag (which I set intentionally). What can I do for these two variable that are stand alone. Should I make them to be coord (technically, they are data per CoDICE team) or something like above?
