## CDF_LOAD_VARS_PARTIAL

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

     FUNCTION cdfi = cdf_load_vars_partial(file)
     Keywords:
       VARFORMAT = string or string array:  a string or string array (which may contain wildcard
                             characters) that specifies the CDF variable names to load.  Use
                              'VARFORMAT='*' to load all variables.
       VARNAMES = named variable   ;output variable for variable names that were loaded.
       SPDF_DEPENDENCIES :   Set to 1 to have SPDF defined dependent variables also loaded.
       VAR_TYPE = string or string array;  Variables that have a VAR_TYPE matching these strings will
                             be loaded.
       CONVERT_INT1_TO_INT2  Set this keyword to convert signed one byte to signed 2 byte integers.
                             This is useful because IDL does not have the equivalent of INT1   (bytes are unsigned)
       RECORD: Specify the record index where you want to start reading.  By default, this option will read one record.
       NUMBER_RECORDS: Specify the number of records that you want to read.  By default, this option will begin at record zero.

     Note: Record & Number_Records can be used together to specify a range of records to be read.

## CDF_PARTIAL_EPOCH_FINDER

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

     This is a routine that needs further testing, development, and enhancements.
     PROCEDURE:  cdf_partial_epoch_finder, cdf_id, epoch_names
     Purpose:  Supports partial loading of cdf files by determining which range of indices
     to load based on time_span and the epoch variables in a cdf file.

     INPUT:
        cdf_id: File ID of an opened CDF file
        epoch_names: Names of the epoch variables for which to find indices
     OUTPUT:
        epoch_indices: Indices corresponding to start/stop of timespan for each
        epoch variable (LONARR(number of epoch names, 2))

## RBSP_LOAD_EFW_WAVEFORM_PARTIAL

[Previous Routine] [List of Routines]

    Procedure: RBSP_LOAD_EFW_WAVEFORM_PARTIAL

    Purpose:  Loads RBSP EFW Waveform data

    keywords:
      probe = Probe name. The default is 'all', i.e., load all available probes.
              This can be an array of strings, e.g., ['a', 'b'] or a
              single string delimited by spaces, e.g., 'a b'
      varformat=strin
      TRANGE= (Optional) Time range of interest  (2 element array), if
              this is not set, the default is to prompt the user. Note
              that if the input time range is not a full day, a full
              day's data is loaded
      DATATYPE:    Input, string.  Default setting is to calibrate all raw quantites and also produce all _0 and _dot0 quantities.  Use DATATYPE
                           kw to narrow the data products.  Wildcards and glob-style patterns accepted (e.g., ef?, *_dot0).
      VARNAMES: names of variables to load from cdf: default is all.
      /GET_SUPPORT_DATA: load support_data variables as well as data variables
                          into tplot variables. (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET)
      /DOWNLOADONLY: download file but don't read it. (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET)
      /QA: If set, load data from l1_qa testing directory.
      /INTEGRATION: If set, load data from integration.
      /MSIM: If set, load data from mission simulations.
      /ETU: If set, load data from the ETU.
      /valid_names, if set, then this routine will return the valid probe, datatype
              and/or level options in named variables supplied as
              arguments to the corresponding keywords.
      files   named varible for output of pathnames of local files.
      /VERBOSE  set to output some useful info
      type:  set to 'calibrated' to automatically convert data into physical units
      coord: Set to 'uvw' to return data in UVW. Otherwise the output is in DSC
              coordinate system
       tper: (In, optional) Tplot name of spin period data. By default,
             tper = pertvar. If tper is set, pertvar = tper.
       tphase: (In, optional) Tplot name of spin phase data. By default,
             tphase = 'rbsp' + strlowcase(sc[0]) + '_spinphase'
             Note: tper and and tphase are mostly used for using eclipse-corrected
             spin data.
    Example:
       rbsp_load_efw_waveform,/get_suppport_data,probe=['a', 'b']

     HISTORY:
       1. Written by Peter Schroeder, February 2012
       2012-11-06: JBT, SSL/UCB.
             1. Added keywords *coord*, *tper*, and *tphase* that are passed into
                 *rbsp_efw_cal_waveform*.
