             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:
         load ExTOF burst data:
         MMS1> mms_load_eis, probes='1', trange=['2015-12-23', '2015-12-24'],  datatype='extof', data_rate='brst', level='l2'

         MMS1> mms_load_eis, probes='1', trange=['2015-10-31', '2015-11-01'], datatype='phxtof', level='l2'
         calculate the PHxTOF PAD for protons
         MMS1> mms_eis_pad, probe='1', species='proton', datatype='phxtof', data_units='flux', energy=[0, 30], level='l2'

     HISTORY:
         09/15/2015 - Ian Cohen at APL: added modifications to omni-directional calculations to be able to handle
                      ExTOF and PHxTOF data
         09/17/2015 - egrimes: large update, see svn log
         12/15/2015 - icohen: added data_rate keyword and conditional definition of prefix in mms_eis_spin_avg and
                      mms_eis_omni to address burst variable name changes
         04/20/2016 - egrimes added omni-directional spectra (without spin averaging)
         04/28/2016 - egrimes changed no_interp options to include non-spin averaged omni-directional spectra
                      changed default level to L2
         06/23/2020 - egrimes changed calls to mms_eis_omni to use /spin keyword
         02/09/2021 - icohen added 'helium' species calls
                      commented out processing of unverified 'oxygen' phxtof variables
