# Routine Descriptions

## THM_SST_LOAD_CALIBRATE

[List of Routines]

    NAME:
     thm_sst_load_calibrate
    PURPOSE:
      Wrapper which loads SST data and performs various calibration tasks; providing a high level interface to sst data.
      As of 2013-03-11 this provides the most advanced SST calibrations.
      #1 GEANT4 modeled theoretical channel efficiencies.(provided by Drew Turner)
      #2 GEANT4 modeled theoretical energy boundaries.(provided by Drew Turner)
      #3 Empirical dead layers calculated through intercalibration with ESA.(provided by Drew Turner)
      #4 Empirical detector performance calculated through intercalibration with ESA. (provided by Drew Turner)
      #5 Interpolates energy channels to single energy grid.  (So that moments & pitch angle distributions can be generated)
      #6 Interpolates energy channels with ESA to fill energy gap between instruments.

    Inputs:
      probe=probe: Default is "a"
      datatype=datatype: Default is "psif"
      esa_datatype=esa_datatype: Default is same datatype as sst (e.g. if datatype is psif esa_datatype is peif)
                            Use this keyword is you want to use different data types for esa & sst( e.g. full sst & burst esa)
      trange=trange: Default is current(loading more than 2 hours could be very slow)
      energies=energies:  The target energy interpolates for SST data in eV
        default: [26000.,28000., 31000.000,       42000.000,       55500.000,       68000.000,       95500.000,       145000.00,       206500.00,       295500.00,       420000.00,       652500.00,$
           1133500.0,       3976500.0]
      sun_bins=sun_bins:  The SST look directions to remove due to sun contamination.
        default: [0,8,16,24,32,33,40,47,48,55,56,57]
        Set to -1 for no sun removal
      dist_esa: use this keyword to return a copy of the esa distribution after time interpolation. (Since it is already interpolated, it makes generating a combined product easier)
    Outputs:
       dist_data=dist_data:
        dist_data pointer array(like the type returned by thm_part_dist_array.pro)
        dist_data can be used with standard particle routines like thm_part_moments.pro & thm_part_getspec.pro

      error=error:  After completion, will be set 1 if error occured, zero otherwise
    NOTES:
      #1 As of now, this thing is extremely inefficient in processor & memory.  This limits loads to only a few hours on machines with 2-4 Gb of RAM.
      Future iterations will window loading to reduce memory utilization at the expense of higher processing time.

      #2 Only intended for psif/psef, for now.  Any other usages will produce unreliable results or errors.

      #3 Loads ESA data to perform intercalibration between instruments on the fly.

      #4 More detailed SST electrons calibration parameters are pending new ESA decontamination.

    Examples:
     #1
      thm_sst_load_calibrate,probe='d',datatype='psif',trange=['2011-07-29/13:00:00','2011-07-29/14:00:00'],dist_data=dist_psif
      thm_part_moments,inst='psif',probe='d',dist_array=dist_psif
      thm_part_getspec,data_type='psif',probe='d',dist_array=dist_psif,angle='phi'
