MMS_LOAD_EIS

[Previous Routine] [List of Routines]
 PROCEDURE:
         mms_load_eis
         
 PURPOSE:
         Load data from the MMS Energetic Ion Spectrometer (EIS)
 
 KEYWORDS:
         trange:       time range of interest [starttime, endtime] with the format
                       ['YYYY-MM-DD','YYYY-MM-DD'] or to specify more or less than a day
                       ['YYYY-MM-DD/hh:mm:ss','YYYY-MM-DD/hh:mm:ss']
         probes:       list of probes, valid values for MMS probes are ['1','2','3','4'].
                       if no probe is specified the default is probe '1'
         level:        indicates level of data processing. levels include 'l2', 'l1b' and 'l1a'
                       The default if no level is specified is 'l1b'
         datatype:     EIS data types include 'extof', 'phxtof', and 'electronenergy'.
                       If no value is given the default is 'extof'.
         data_rate:    instrument data rates for EIS include 'brst' 'srvy'. The
                       default is 'srvy'.
         data_units:   desired units for data. for eis units are ['flux', 'cps', 'counts']. 
                       The default is 'flux'.
         local_data_dir: local directory to store the CDF files; should be set if
                       you're on *nix or OSX, the default currently assumes Windows (c:\data\mms\)
         source:       specifies a different system variable. By default the MMS mission 
                       system variable is !mms
         get_support_data: load support data (defined by VAR_TYPE="support_data" in the CDF)
         tplotnames:   returns a list of the names of the tplot variables loaded by the load routine
         no_color_setup: don't setup graphics configuration; use this keyword when you're 
                       using this load routine from a terminal without an X server running
         time_clip:    clip the data to the requested time range; note that if you do not use 
                       this keyword you may load a longer time range than requested
         no_update:    set this flag to preserve the original data. if not set and newer 
                       data is found the existing data will be overwritten
         no_interp:    if this flag is set no interpolation of the data will occur.
         suffix:       appends a suffix to the end of the tplot variable name. this is useful for
                       preserving original tplot variable.
         varformat:    should be a string (wildcards accepted) that will match the CDF variables
                       that should be loaded into tplot variables
         cdf_filenames:  this keyword returns the names of the CDF files used when loading the data
         cdf_version:  specify a specific CDF version # to load (e.g., cdf_version='4.3.0')
         latest_version: only grab the latest CDF version in the requested time interval
                       (e.g., /latest_version)
         major_version: only open the latest major CDF version (e.g., X in vX.Y.Z) in the requested time interval
         min_version:  specify a minimum CDF version # to load
         spdf:         grab the data from the SPDF instead of the LASP SDC (only works for public data)
         available:    returns a list of files available at the SDC for the requested parameters
                       this is useful for finding which files would be downloaded (along with their sizes) if
                       you didn't specify this keyword (also outputs total download size)
         versions:     this keyword returns the version #s of the CDF files used when loading the data
         always_prompt: set this keyword to always prompt for the user's username and password;
                       useful if you accidently save an incorrect password, or if your SDC password has changed
         tt2000: flag for preserving TT2000 timestamps found in CDF files (note that many routines in
                       SPEDAS (e.g., tplot.pro) do not currently support these timestamps)

 
 EXAMPLE:
     load ExTOF burst data:
     MMS1> mms_load_eis, probes='1', trange=['2015-12-23', '2015-12-24'],  datatype='extof', data_rate='brst', level='l2'
            
     load PHxTOF data:
     MMS1> mms_load_eis, probes='1', trange=['2015-10-31', '2015-11-01'], datatype='phxtof', level='l2'
     calculate the PHxTOF PAD for protons
     MMS1> mms_eis_pad, probe='1', species='proton', datatype='phxtof', data_units='flux', energy=[0, 30], level='l2'

     See mms_load_eis_crib.pro, mms_load_eis_burst_crib.pro,
         and mms_load_eis_crib_qlplots.pro for usage examples
         
         
 NOTES:
     The MMS plug-in in SPEDAS requires IDL 8.4 to access data at the LASP SDC
