## MMS_LOAD_BRST_SEGMENTS

[Next Routine] [List of Routines]

     PROCEDURE:
             mms_load_brst_segments

     PURPOSE:
             Loads the brst segment intervals into a bar that can be plotted

     KEYWORDS:
             trange:       time range of interest
             suffix:       suffix to append to the tplot variable of the burst segments bar
             start_times:  returns an array of unix times (double) containing the start for each burst interval
             end_times:    returns an array of unix times (double) containing the end of each burst interval
             nodownload:   flag to load the file if it's stored locally, and not download it from the spedas.org server;
                           this is useful if the remote file seems out of date; you can run mms_update_brst_intervals
                           to manually update the file from the data at the SDC, and set this flag to load your local file
             sdc:          flag to load the brst intervals directly from the SDC; set this flag to 0 to load the data from spedas.org (may be out of date)

     NOTES:
             WARNING: this routine no longer loads the correct fast segments for later in the mission;
                      for loading fast segment bars correctly throughout the entire mission, please
                      use the wrapper: spd_mms_load_bss, which switches between this routine (for dates
                      before 6Nov15) and the new SRoI code (mms_load_sroi_segments) for dates on and after 6Nov15

             suffix:       suffix to append to the SRoI segments bar tplot variable

## MMS_UPDATE_BRST_INTERVALS

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

      This routine will create a save file, mms_brst_intervals.sav in
      the directory:

            !mms.local_data_dir + '/'

     containing a structure with the tags "start_times" and "end_times".
     These are the start/end times of the brst  intervals as
     specified in the mms_burst_data_segment.csv file

     This is meant to be run by an automated script that rebuilds the
     mms_brst_intervals.sav file and uploads it to spedas.org:

         http://spedas.org/mms/mms_brst_intervals.sav

## MMS_UPDATE_FAST_INTERVALS

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

      This routine will create a save file, mms_fast_intervals.sav in
      the directory:

            !mms.local_data_dir + '/abs/'

     containing a structure with the tags "start_times" and "end_times".
     These are the start/end times of the fast survey intervals as
     specified in the automated burst system (ABS) files

     This is meant to be run by an automated script that rebuilds the
     mms_fast_intervals.sav file and uploads it to spedas.org:

         http://spedas.org/mms/mms_fast_intervals.sav

     Note: in order to run this script, you need a sav file in
           your working directory called 'mms_login_info_for_updating_abs.sav'
           containing your login information.

## SPD_MMS_LOAD_BSS

[Previous Routine] [List of Routines]

     NAME: spd_mms_load_bss

     PURPOSE: To display horizontal color bars indicating burst data availability

     KEYWORDS:

       trange:          time frame for bss
       datatype:        type of BSS data ['fast','burst','status','fom']. default includes 'fast' and 'burst'
       include_labels:  set this flag to have the horizontal bars labeled
       probe:           probe # for SRoI bars (used as fast survey segments after 6Nov15; default: 1)

     NOTES:
       "bss" stands for Burst Segment Status (a term used in the MMS-SDC2SITL-ICD document).
       By default, it produces the following tplot-variables.

       1. mms_bss_fast  (red bar)
          the time periods of fast-survey mode (more precisely, the time periods of ROIs)

       2. mms_bss_burst (blue bar)
          the time periods (segments) selected by SITLs for burst data

       3. mms_bss_status (green bar)
          Represents segment statuses.

       4. mms_bss_fom (histogram, black)
          The height represents the FOM values (i.e., priority level defined by SITLs)

       5. To labels bss bars set the include_labels flag, /include_labels

       See examples/basic/spd_mms_load_bss_crib.pro for examples.

     Updated by egrimes, June 2016
     Updated by egrimes, July 2020 - to get the fast segment bars using the new SRoI code instead of
          the older fast segment routine for dates on and after 6Nov15 (this is because the older fast segment
          bars routine returns incorrect segments for later in the mission, but the SRoI routine doesn't work
          for dates before 6Nov15)
