[Nexus] Correct way to specify multiple signals

[V. Armando Solé]

An additional question.

The axes attribute, is it a single string with dataset names separated
by colons  (",") or is it an array of strings? I had always understood
the former but my colleagues understand the later. I would appreciate
clarification there too because in the documentation pages I do not see
the typical [n] used to specify one is dealing with arrays and because
of that (and because for some computing languages variable length string
arrays are a problem) I was expecting a single string.

Thanks!
