## MMS_LOAD_FSM

[Previous Routine] [List of Routines]

     PROCEDURE:
             mms_load_fsm

     PURPOSE:
             Load MMS FSM 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 'l3'
             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
             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
             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)

     EXAMPLE:

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