Routine Descriptions

MMS_CONFIG

[Next Routine] [List of Routines]
NAME:    mms_config

PURPOSE:
  This procedure serves as the MMS configuration file.  It sets global (system)
  variables and initializes devices

  This procedure will define the location of data files and the data server.
  This procedure is intended to be called from within the "MMS_INIT" procedure.

  This should be the only MMS file that requires modification for use in different
  locations.

  There is no need to modify this file if:
     - Your computer is an SSL UNIX machine that mounts "/disks/data/"   (i.e. ALL Linux and Solaris machines at SSL)
     - You use a portable computer that will be caching files on a local hard drive.


  Settings  in this file will be overridden by settings in the environment.
  (see setup_themis or setup_themis_bash for examples of setting environment
  variables on UNIX-like systems.  The environment can also be set on Windows
  systems.)

KEYWORDS
   NO_COLOR_SETUP   Do not do color setup if taken care for already
   COLORTABLE       Overwrite the default colortable initialization

MMS_INIT

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]
NAME:    mms_init

PURPOSE: 
   Initializes system variables for MMS. Can be called from idl_startup to set
   custom locations.

NOTE:
   The system variable !MMS is defined here, just like !THEMIS.  
   The elements of this structure are explained below:

   !MMS.LOCAL_DATA_DIR    This is the root location for all MMS data files.
                  The MMS software expects all data files to reside in specific subdirectories relative
                  to this root directory.;

   !MMS.REMOTE_DATA_DIR   This is the URL of the server that can provide the data files.
                  (default is: "http://themis.ssl.berkeley.edu/data/themis/")
                  if the software does not find a needed file in LOCAL_DATA_DIR,
                  then it will attempt to download the data from the URL and REMOTE_DATA_DIR is defined,
                  the software will attempt to download the file from REMOTE_DATA_DIR, place it in LOCAL_DATA_DIR
                  with the same relative pathname, and then continue processing.

KEYWORDS:
   RESET:           Reset !mms to values in environment (or values in keywords).
   LOCAL_DATA_DIR:  use given value for local_data_dir, rather than environment. Only works on
                    initial call or reset.
   REMOTE_DATA_DIR: Use given value for remote_data_dir, rather than env.  Only works on inital
                    call or reset.
   NO_COLOR_SETUP   do not set colors if already taken care of

MMS_PROXY

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]
NAME:    mms_proxy

PURPOSE:
   (1) To set a proxy and establish a connection to SDC, on the fly.
   (2) To store/delete proxy information into/from a configuration file.

NOTE:
   If the proxy requires proxy_username and proxy_password, then the user
   needs to use this program everytime he/she needs to access SDC because
   we do not store a password.

MMS_SET_VERBOSE

[Previous Routine] [List of Routines]
NAME:
 mms_set_verbose
PURPOSE:
 Sets verbose level in !mms.verbose and in tplot_options
CALLING SEQUENCE:
 mms_set_verbose, vlevel
INPUT:
 vlevel = a verbosity level, if not set then !mms.verbose is used
          (this is how you would propagate the !mms.verbose value
          into tplot options)
HISTORY:
