sorry, only just got back to this - yes, I can get a spectrum extracted
from a cube in GAIA sent to SPLAT happily, so at least it can work.
But whether it does or not may have to do with the details of the
(meta)data. If you can point me at the cube you're playing with
I'll try it myself.

I seem to remember it was you/JACH who asked for it in the first place,
wanting to replace the existing SPLAT remote control with PLASTIC
instead.
