Andy, I combined the Extract Filter Block with the example you outlined below and it worked! I was able to use GetRange() to get the minimum and maximum of the array for the current time.
On a side note, other than GetRange(), what else can be done with data from GetArray()?

If you want the range for only a single block of a multiblock I'd recommend using the Extract Block filter to get that block. It should be a shallow copy of the data set to do that so it should be very fast, even if you don't need the output of the Extract Block filter for anything else.
