## MMS_LOAD_DATA

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

     PROCEDURE:
             mms_load_data

     PURPOSE:
             Generic MMS load data routine; typically called from instrument specific
               load routines - mms_load_???, i.e., mms_load_fgm, mms_load_fpi, etc.

     KEYWORDS:
             trange: time range of interest
             probes: list of probes - values for MMS SC #
             instrument: instrument, 'fpi', 'hpca', 'fgm', etc.
             datatypes: depends on instrument; see header of the instrument's load routine
             levels: level of data processing
             data_rates: instrument data rate
             local_data_dir: local directory to store the CDF files
             source: sets a different system variable. By default the MMS mission system variable
                 is !mms
             login_info: string containing name of a sav file containing a structure named "auth_info",
                 with "username" and "password" tags with your API login information
             tplotnames: returns a list of the loaded tplot variables
             get_support_data: when set this routine will load any support data
                 (support data is specified in the CDF file)
             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: use local data only, don't query the SDC for updated files.
             suffix: append a suffix to tplot variables names
             varformat: should be a string (wildcards accepted) that will match the CDF variables
                 that should be loaded into tplot variables
             cdf_filenames:  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
             cdf_records: specify the # of records to load from the CDF files; this is useful
                 for grabbing one record from a CDF file
             spdf: grab the data from the SPDF instead of the LASP SDC (only works for public access)
             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 your 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)
             download_only: download the data files, but do not read them

     EXAMPLE:
         See the instrument specific crib sheets in the examples/ folder for usage examples

     NOTES:
         The MMS plug-in in SPEDAS requires IDL 8.4 to access data at the LASP SDC

         1) See the following regarding rules for the use of MMS data:
             https://lasp.colorado.edu/mms/sdc/public/about/

         2) CDF version 3.6.3+ is required to correctly handle leap seconds.

         3) The local paths will mirror the SDC/SPDF directory structures

         4) Warning about datatypes and paths:
               -- many of the MMS instruments contain datatype details in their path names; for these CDFs
               to be stored in the correct location locally (i.e., mirroring the SDC directory structure)
               these datatypes must be passed to this routine by a higher level routine via the "datatype"
               keyword. If the datatype keyword isn't passed, or datatype "*" is passed, the directory names
               won't currently match the SDC. We can fix this by defining what "*" is for datatypes
               (by a list of all datatypes) in the instrument specific load routine, and passing those to this one.

                   Example for HPCA: mms1/hpca/srvy/l1b/moments/2015/07/

                   "moments" is the datatype. without passing datatype=["moments", ..], the data are stored locally in:
                                     mms1/hpca/srvy/l1b/2015/07/

          5) For data availability:
                   https://lasp.colorado.edu/mms/sdc/

          6) Logging into the SDC:
               - If you have an internet connection, you'll be prompted for a username and password the
               first time you use the MMS plugin. There's an option in the widget that allows you
               to save your password in a save file on the local machine; if you select this option,
               the login prompt will never come up again and your saved password will be used to
               login to the SDC. This is insecure and should not be used if you use a common
               password with other services.

               - Use an empty username and password for public access to the data

               - If you don't have an internet connection or you can't login remotely, the plugin will
               look for the files on the local machine using a directory structure that matches
               the directory structure at the SDC.

## MMS_LOAD_DATA_SPDF

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

     PROCEDURE:
             mms_load_data_spdf

     PURPOSE:
             Load MMS data from NASA/SPDF (backup to loading from SDC)

             This routine is not meant to be called directly - please use
             mms_load_xxx with the /spdf keyword set.

     KEYWORDS:
             See mms_load_data for keyword definitions

     EXAMPLE:
        mms_load_fgm, /spdf, probe=1, level='l2', trange=['2016-01-10', '2016-01-11']

     NOTES:
           *** IMPORTANT NOTE ON BURST DATA ***
           Burst data files downloaded with this routine will not be in the same
           directory structure as the burst files downloaded with mms_load_data using
           the SDC. This is because the SDC puts burst files in daily folders, while
           SPDF doesn't.

           *** Did you download the data using FTP? ***
           If you download burst data from SPDF using FTP, be sure to use
           the /spdf keyword when calling the mms_load_xxx routines. This
           is due to the different directory structures mentioned above.

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

    Purpose:
      Extracts valid rate/level/datatype based on input.
      If an input is specified then only subsets of that input are checked.
      If an input is not specified then all possible matches are used.

        e.g.  -If rate is specified then only levels and datatypes for
               that rate are retuned.
              -If nothing is specified then all rates/levels/datatypes
               are returned.
              -If all three are specified then then the output will
               be identical to the input (if the input is valid).

(See projects/mms/common/load_data/mms_load_options.pro)

## MMS_LOAD_OPTIONS[1]

    Procedure:
      mms_load_options

    Purpose:
      Provides information on valid data rates, levels, and datatypes
      for MMS science instruments.

      Valid load options for a specified instrument will be returned
      via a corresponding keyword.

      Each output keyword may be used as an input to narrow the results
      the the contingent options.

    Calling Sequence:

      level:  (string)(array) Data processing level e.g. 'l1b', 'ql'
      datatype:  (string)(array) Data type, e.g. 'moments'

    Output:
      rate:  If not used as an input this will contain all valid
             rates for the instrument.
      level:  If not used as an input this will contain all valid
              levels, given any specified rate.
      datatype:  If not used as an input this will contain all valid
                 datatypes, given any specified rate and level.
      valid:  1 if valid outputs were found, 0 otherwise
