## AVG_DATA_PYTHON_VALIDATE

[Next Routine] [List of Routines]

    PROCEDURE: avg_data_python_validate

    PURPOSE:
       Generate test data for Python vs IDL validation tests for avg_data routine.

       Creates a file called avg_data_validate.tplot which should be uploaded into:
       https://github.com/spedas/test_data

       This file is used by pyspedas tests to confirm that IDL and python results are the same.

## LMN_PYTHON_VALIDATE

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

     Procedure:
      lmn_python_validate

     Purpose:
      Creates a savefile with tplot variables that contain lmn_matrix_make data.

      The savefile can used to compare the results of IDL lmn_matrix_make.pro
      to the results of the similar python function in pyspedas.

## OMNI_SOLARWIND_PYTHON_VALIDATE

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

     Procedure:
      omni_solarwind_python_validate

     Purpose:
      Create a savefile with OMNI solar wind variables.
      The savefile can be loaded into Python using PySPEDAS to verify that the Python results match the IDL results.

## SPINMODEL_PYTHON_TEST.PRO

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

     NAME:
        SPINMODEL_PYTHON_TEST.PRO

     PURPOSE:
       Load several spin models and export them as CDFs for comparison with Python results

     CATEGORY:
       TDAS

     CALLING SEQUENCE:
       spinmodel_python_test

      INPUTS:
        probe:             One value from 'a b c d e'
        trange:            Time range specified as a 2-element string array
        correction_level:  An integer, 0 1 or 2, denoting the level of eclipse corrections to use
        cdf_filename:      The name of the output CDF.   This file can be passed to the themis.state.spinmodel.validate_model routine
                           to perform the python side of the test.
      OUTPUTS:
        A CDF file containing the probe, time range, and correction level used, a dump of the spinmodel attributes, and some interpolation
        test data to be reproduced in pyspedas.

      KEYWORDS:
        None.

      PROCEDURE:

      EXAMPLE:
         spinmodel_python_test, probe='a',trange=['2008-03-23','2008-04-23'],correction_level=2,cdf_filename='tha_30day_corr2.cdf'

## WAV_DATA_VALIDATE

[Previous Routine] [List of Routines]

    PROCEDURE: wav_data_validate

    PURPOSE:
       Generate test data for Python vs IDL validation tests for the wav_data routine.

       Creates the following savefiles:
            wav_data_resample_test.tplot
            sin_wav_wv_pol_perp.tplot
            wav_data_cross_test.tplot
            sin_wav_wv_pol_perp.tplot

       These files should be uploaded into:
         https://github.com/spedas/test_data/analysis_tools

       The savefiles are used by pyspedas tests to confirm that IDL and python results are the same.
