## MMS_FPI_ANG_ANG

[Next Routine] [List of Routines]

     PROCEDURE:
             mms_fpi_ang_ang

     PURPOSE:
             Creates various plots directly from the
             FPI distribution functions, including:

             - angle-angle (azimuth vs zenith)
             - angle-energy (azimuth and zenith vs energy)
             - pitch angle - energy

     INPUT:
              time: exact time you'd like to see plotted

     KEYWORDS:
              all_energies: generate azimuth vs zenith plots at
                  all energies, one plot for each energy

              probe: probe to plot
              energy_range: energy range to include in the
                  angle-angle and angle-energy plots (default: 10-30000 eV)
              data_rate: FPI data rate ('fast' or 'brst')
              species: FPI species - 'e' for electrons or 'i' for ions (defaults to 'e')
              subtract_bulk: subtract the bulk velocity prior to
                  creating the PA-energy figure
              pa_en_units: units for the PA-energy figure (defaults to 'df_cm')
              postscript: save the plots as postscript files (can't be set with /png)
              png: save the plots as PNG files (can't be set with /postscript)
              center_measurement: shift the data to the center of the
                  measurement interval
              xsize: x-size of the figures (default: 550px)
              ysize: y-size of the figures (default: 450px)
              filename_suffix: suffix to append to the end of PNG/postscript file names
              nocontours: disable pitch angle contours on the angle-angle plots

     NOTES:
              Bulk velocity subtraction (via the /subtract_bulk keyword) only
              works for PA-energy figures (i.e., angle-angle and angle-energy plots
              are created as the data exists in the data files)

     In cases when data had been lossy compressed, some artifacts may appear in the data due to the compression.
     Since all of fast survey data are lossy compressed, it is not nesessary to make this bar for fast survey data.

      Energies are in eV from stepper tables.
      The first two columns of energies correspond to stepperTableParity = 0,1 for burst data (may be indexed).
      The last energy row is a geometric average of first two and is applicable to fast survey data.

             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:    set this flag to preserve the original data. if not set and newer
                           data is found the existing data will be overwritten
             suffix:       appends a suffix to the end of the tplot variable name. this is useful for
                           preserving original tplot variable.
             varformat:    should be a string (wildcards accepted) that will match the CDF variables
                           that should be loaded into tplot variables
             cdf_filenames:  this keyword 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)
             center_measurement: set this keyword to shift the data to the center of the measurement interval
                           using the DELTA_PLUS_VAR/DELTA_MINUS_VAR attributes
             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 the user's 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:
         MMS>  timespan, '2015-09-19', 1, /day
         load FPI burst mode data
         MMS>  mms_load_fpi, probes = ['1'], level='l2', data_rate='brst', datatype='des-moms'

         load FPI FS data
         MMS>  mms_load_fpi, probes='3', level='l2', data_rate='fast', datatype='des-moms'

         See mms_load_fpi_crib, mms_load_fpi_burst_crib, and mms_load_fpi_crib_qlplots
         for usage examples

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