## THM_CONFIG

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

      PRO themis_config

      This procedure serves as the themis 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 "THM_INIT" procedure.

      This should be the only THEMIS 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.)

## THM_DATA2LOAD

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

    NAME:
     thm_data2load
    PURPOSE:
     returns a list of variables that can be loaded for a given THEMIS
     instrument. For the most part, it calls the appropriate thm_load
     routine with the /valid_names keyword set. The dataypes and
     valid_names keywords are used inconsistently in the thm_loads, and
     do not allow for the distinction between level2 data that is
     to be input from level2 files, and level2 data the is to be input
     from level1 files and calbrated, cotrans'ed, etc... but has the same
     name as an L2 variable. Designed to be called from
     thm_ui_valid_dtype.pro
    CALLING SEQUENCE:
     dtyp = thm_data2load(instrument, level)
    INPUT:
     instrument = the THEMIS instrument: one of:
               ['asi', 'ask', 'esa', 'efi', 'fbk', 'fft', 'fgm', 'fit', 'gmag', $
                'mom', 'scm', 'spin', 'sst', 'state', 'bau', 'hsk', 'trg']
     level = 'l1' for any data that can be gotten from the l1 file --
             including calibrated, etc... 'l2' for data gotten from L2
             files. 'l10' for data that only is loaded from L1 files. For
             ESA data, 'L10' data and 'L1' data are gotten from the
             packet files.
    OUTPUT:
     dtyp = a string array that can be used as an input to the datatype
            keyword for the given instrument
    HISTORY:
     started on 31-Jan-2008, jmm, jimm@ssl.berkeley.edu, this is under
     development for the next 6 months or so.
     9-apr-2008, jmm, added all instruments, for Version 4_00

## THM_DATA_CALIBRATED

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

    	Function: THM_DATA_CALIBRATED

    	Purpose:  Determine whether the data stored in a particular TPLOT variable has already been calibrated by examining the contents of it's DLIMIT structure.

    	Calling Sequence:
    		tplot_var = 'tha_eff'
    		get_data, tplot_var, data=d, limit=l, dlimit=dl
    		if thm_data_calibrated( dl) then return
                   ; -- or --
                   if thm_data_calibrated('tha_eff') then return

    	Arguements:
    		DL, Anonymous STRUCT or tplot varaible name

## THM_ESA_LIM4OVERPLOT

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

    This program takes a variable and sets zero values to the minimum
    nonzero value not NaN's though. Hacked from
    thm_spec_lim4overplot.pro, to account for problems in solar wind mode
    for probes B and C where there are short intervals with much larger
    energy ranges, which make for ugly plotting. In this case, if the
    value for ymin or ymax are present for less than 1 hour total,
    (actually 1/24 of the total number of time intervals) then ignore
    those values.

## THM_FLIPBOOKIFY

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

     PROCEDURE:
         thm_flipbookify

     PURPOSE:
         Turns the current tplot window into a "flipbook" containing:

         1) the current figure (vertical line at each time step)
         2) THEMIS distribution slices at each time step

     KEYWORDS:
         trange: limit the time range of plots produced (will draw a box around trange by default)
         instrument: instrument for the slices (default: 'esa')
         probe:  probe # for the slices (default: 'd')
         level: level of data for the slices (default: l2)
         data_rate: data rate to use for the slices (default: 'b')
         species: species of the slices; valid options include: (default: 'i')
             'e' for electrons or 'i' for ions

         xrange:  two-element array specifying x-axis range for the slices
         yrange:  two-element array specifying y-axis range for the slices
         zrange:  two-element array specifying z-axis range for the slices

         slices: three-element array specifying the slices to plot:
             'BV':  The x axis is parallel to B field; the bulk velocity defines the x-y plane
             'BE':  The x axis is parallel to B field; the B x V(bulk) vector defines the x-y plane
             'xy':  (default) The x axis is along the data's x axis and y is along the data's y axis
             'xz':  The x axis is along the data's x axis and y is along the data's z axis
             'yz':  The x axis is along the data's y axis and y is along the data's z axis
             'xvel':  The x axis is along the data's x axis; the x-y plane is defined by the bulk velocity
             'perp':  The x axis is the bulk velocity projected onto the plane normal to the B field; y is B x V(bulk)
             'perp_xy':  The data's x & y axes are projected onto the plane normal to the B field
             'perp_xz':  The data's x & z axes are projected onto the plane normal to the B field
             'perp_yz':  The data's y & z axes are projected onto the plane normal to the B field

             default: ['xy', 'xz', 'yz']

         two_d_interp: use the 2D interpolation method
         geometric: use the geometric interpolation method

         custom_rotation: Applies a custom rotation matrix to the data.  Input may be a
                       3x3 rotation matrix or a tplot variable containing matrices.
                       If the time window covers multiple matrices they will be averaged.
                       This is applied before other transformations

             title="YYYY-MM-DD/hh:mm:ss.fff"

         seconds: specify the # of seconds for each slice
             (e.g., seconds=1.5 -> plot at every 1.5 seconds)
         time_step: integer specifying the interval to produce plots at
             (e.g., time_step=1 -> plot at every time, time_step=2 -> every other time, etc)

         /postscript: save the images as postscript files instead of PNGs

         output_dir: directory where the plots are saved (default: 'flipbook/')
         filename_suffix: suffix to append to the end of the newly created files

         /video: save the sequence of images as a video (.mp4) - currently only works for PNG
         vid_format: format of the output video; default .mp4;
             (options include: avi flv gif matroska mjpeg mov mp4 swf wav webm)

## THM_INIT

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

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

     The system variable !THEMIS is defined here.  The elements of this structure are explained below:

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

     !THEMIS.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 !themis 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

     Typical examples:

              Desktop UNIX/LINUX computer located at SSL
       LOCAL_DATA_DIR  = '/disks/data/themis/'               ; This master directory is read only.
       REMOTE_DATA_DIR = ''                                  ; Should be empty sting. (/disks/data/themis and server are the same)

              Desktop WINDOWS computer located at SSL
       LOCAL_DATA_DIR  = '\\justice\data\themis\'            ; Justice is a samba server (physically the same as /disk/data/themis)
       REMOTE_DATA_DIR = ''

              laptop WINDOWS computer located far from a data server, but with internet connection.
       LOCAL_DATA_DIR  = 'C;\data\themis\'                              ; Local (portable) directory on laptop
       REMOTE_DATA_DIR = 'http://themis.ssl.berkeley.edu/data/themis/'    ;  URL used to download data to LOCAL_DATA_DIR

              MacOS computer located away from SSL without a nearby data server
       LOCAL_DATA_DIR  = '/data/themis/'                              ; Local (portable) directory on laptop
       REMOTE_DATA_DIR = 'http://themis.ssl.berkeley.edu/data/themis/'    ;  URL used to download data to LOCAL_DATA_DIR

       Note: If automatic downloads are used. (i.e. REMOTE_DATA_DIR is not an empty string) the user must ensure that
       LOCAL_DATA_DIR is writeable.

       Note to WINDOWS users: the WINDOWS version of IDL accepts both the '\' and '/' character as the directory
       separation character. The converse is not true.

              valid data type.  If there is a one-to-one correpspondence
              between filetype and datatype, vfiletypes may be left undefined.
              If all datatypes are in a single file, then vfiltypes may contain
              a single name, rather than a list.
      vL2datatypes= space-separated list of datatypes valid for L2 data
      vL2coord= space-separated list of coordinates valid for L2 data
      file_vL2datatypes=same as file_vdatatypes, but for L2 data.  Defaults to

              day's data is loaded
      level = the level of the data, the default is 'l1', or level-1
              data. A string (e.g., 'l2') or an integer can be used. 'all'
              can be passed in also, to get all levels.
      vlevels=A space-separated list of valid levels, e.g. 'l1 l2'
      proc_type =  the type of data, i.e. 'raw' or 'calibrated'. This is

      vtypes =A space-separated list of valid types, e.g. 'raw calibrated'
              No validation on proc_type if not set.
      deftype = default for type.  only applied to L1.  If not supplied,
                then 'calibrated' will be uses as the default value.
      CDF_DATA: named variable in which to return cdf data structure: only works
              for a single spacecraft and datafile name.
      VARNAMES: names of variables to load from cdf: default is all.

      /valid_names, if set, then this routine will return the valid probe, datatype
              and/or level options in named variables supplied as
              arguments to the corresponding keywords.
      files   named varible for output of pathnames of local files.
      /VERBOSE  set to output some useful info
      msg_out:  A named variable to output an array of error messages
                which can be printed to the console later when they
                will be more visible to the user.  Null string is returned
                if no applicable errors are encountered.

    Output Keywords:
      oft     distinct file types that need to be loaded.  Array of strings.
      ofdt    datatypes corresponding to each file type in ofts. Array of
              strings, each containing a space-separate list of datatypes .
      odt     validated datatypes

     EXAMPLE:
        thm_scpot2dens_opt_n,sc='d',datatype_esa='peer' ;scpot and vthermal from peer

     PRE-REQUIREMENTS:
        Timespan for the calculation like
        timespan,'2009-01-01/00:00:00',1,/day

     KEYWORD PARAMETERS:
        probe         spacecraft name: 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd' or 'e'. Default is 'a'.
        datatype_esa       ESA datatype: 'peef', 'peer', 'peem' or
                           'peeb'. Default is 'peer'.
        trange     The time range to input, if not set, then the timespan
                   value is used.
        no_data_load - if set, do not load data
        nscpot_ion_density_threshold - data for times where the ion
                                      density is above this value are
                                      flagged as 'bad' and set to
                                      'NaN'. The default value is 4.0e1
     OUTPUTS:
        'th?_*_density' Electron density in cm-3
     RESTRICTIONS:
        The calculated electron density may include
        uncertainties. Uncertainties are larger where the thermal
        velocity of electrons is not accurately estimated: in the
        plasmasphere, plasmatrough and lobe. Error data in the electron
        thermal speed or spacecraft potential give unreliable denisities.

## THM_VALID_INPUT

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

    function thm_valid_input
    purpose:
      for thm_load routines to validate the input keyword and set it to a standard
      format ('l1', 'l2', etc.).
    parameters:
      input:  keyword input to be validated from thm_load routine: array or scalar
      label:  name of input keyword that is being validated
    keywords:
      vinputs: a space-separated string, like 'l1 l2'
      definput: a string like 'l2'.  Required.
      include_all:  if set will accept multiple values on input, and include 'all'
                    as a valid input. 'all' is equivalent to '*'
      verbose: to maintain control of verbosity
      format: format to use to convert numerical input to string.  Numerical input
              disallowed if absent.  examples: "('l',I1)" or "('v', I02)"
     return value:
        a scalar string, e.g. 'l1'
        if /include_all: an array of strings
        on error: empty string: ''
    example:
            lvl = thm_valid_input(level,'Level',vinputs='l1 l2',definput='l1',$
                                   foramt="('l', I1)", verbose=verbose)
            if lvl eq '' then return

## THM_VALID_LEVEL

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

    function thm_valid_level
    purpose:
      for thm_load routines to validate the level keyword and set it to a standard
      format ('l1', 'l2', etc.).  Only a single level is allowed.
    keywords:
      level:  level keyword input from thm_load routine
      vlevels: a space-separated string, like 'l1 l2'
      deflevel: a string like 'l2'.  defaults to 'l1'
    example:
            lvl = thm_valid_level('l1','l1 l2','l1')

## THM_WRITE_CONFIG

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

    NAME:
     thm_write_config
    PURPOSE:
     Writes the thm_config file
    CALLING SEQUENCE:
     thm_write_config, copy=copy
    INPUT:
     none, the filename is hardcoded, 'thm_config.txt',and is s put in a
     folder given by the routine thm_config_filedir, that uses the IDL
     routine app_user_dir to create/obtain it: my linux example:
     /disks/ice/home/jimm/.idl/themis/thm_config-4-linux
    OUTPUT:
     the file is written, and a copy of any old file is generated
    KEYWORD:
     copy = if set, the file is read in and a copy with the !stime
            appended is written out
    HISTORY:
     17-may-2007, jmm, jimm@ssl.berkeley.edu
     18-mar-2009, jmm, fixed problem with writing string representations
                       of byte values
     10-aug-2011, lphilpott, modified to write a template path to the config file too.

## THM_WRITE_PROBE_TIMING_TABLES

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

     Procedure: thm_write_probe_timing_tables.pro

     Purpose:  This routine takes two string file names as input arguments, reads all 'phases_???.txt' files present in the WD,
               determines the primary (statistically significant) apid sampling times in terms on one-second-mark 'ticks' and spin 'sectors',
               writes 'ticks' and 'sectors' found to probe timing table files, and generates png images of the timelines per apid.

     Inputs:   Parameters: ticks_table_file, sectors_table_file (to be generated by the routine)
               Non-Parameters: phases_xxx.txt files in PWD (ASCII files containing apid:xxx header times, one second mark phases, spin phases, and delta_phi timeline)
                 These ASCII files need to be generated by write_probe_timing_phases.bash

     Keywords:
               NO_PNG: If set, png images are not produced
               TEST:   If set, ALL tick counts are recorded and written to file (except for apid:410)
                       Otherwise, only tick counts = 1,2,8,16 and 32 are recorded and written to file

     Outputs:  ticks_table_file, sectors_table_file and png images of phases per apid (default)

     Examples:
               thm_write_probe_timing_tables,'ticks_table.txt','sectors_table.txt'
               thm_write_probe_timing_tables,'ticks_table.txt','sectors_table.txt',/no_png
               thm_write_probe_timing_tables,'ticks_table.txt','sectors_table.txt',/no_png,/test
