PROCEDURE:
mms_load_fgm
PURPOSE:
Load MMS magnetometer data
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. the default if no level is specified is 'l2'
datatype: currently all data types for FGM are retrieved (datatype not specified)
data_rate: instrument data rates for FGM include 'brst' 'fast' 'slow' 'srvy'. The
default is 'srvy'.
instrument: FGM instruments are 'fgm', 'dfg' and 'afg'. default value is 'fgm'; you probably
shouldn't be using 'dfg' or 'afg' without talking to the instrument team
local_data_dir: local directory to store the CDF files
source: specifies a different system variable. By default the MMS mission system
variable is !mms
get_support_data: load support data (defined by support_data VAR_TYPE in the CDF)
tplotnames: names for tplot variables
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
suffix: appends a suffix to the end of the tplot variable name. this is useful for
preserving original tplot variables.
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)
no_split_vars: don't split the FGM variables into vector + magnitude tplot variables; if set
vector transformations won't work on the FGM tplot variables.
keep_flagged: don't remove flagged data (flagged data are set to NaNs by default, this keyword
turns this off)
get_fgm_ephemeris: keep the ephemeris variables in the FGM files
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:
See mms_load_fgm_crib.pro and mms_load_fgm_burst_crib.pro for usage examples
load MMS FGM burst data for MMS 1
MMS> mms_load_fgm, probes=['1'], data_rate='brst'
load MMS FGM data for MMS 1 and MMS 2
MMS> mms_load_fgm, probes=[1, 2], trange=['2015-06-22', '2015-06-23']
NOTES:
The MMS plug-in in SPEDAS requires IDL 8.4 to access data at the LASP SDC

mms_split_fgm_eph_data
PURPOSE:
