Summary
If numBytes is 4, use H5T_NATIVE_FLOAT instead of H5T_NATIVE_DOUBLE. This fixes writing real values, as in ExaEpi.
Additional background
As far as I can tell, whichRD (and therefore whichRDBytes) does not change between levels, so I perform this check outside of the level loop, but if it is indeed possible for these values to change, I can move it inside.
