## RBSP_RBSPICE_CONFIG

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

     PROCEDURE: rbsp_rbspice_config

     PURPOSE:   This procedure serves as the RBSP RBSPICE configuration file.  It sets global (system) variables and initializes devices

                This procedure will define the location of data files and the data server.
                This procedure is intended to be called from within the "RBSP_RBSPICE_INIT" procedure.

                This should be the only RBSP RBSPICE file that requires modification for use in different locations.

                Settings  in this file will be overridden by settings in the environment.
                (see setup_themis or setup_themis_bash for examples of setting environment
                variables on UNIX-like systems.  The environment can also be set on Windows
                systems.)

     KEYWORDS
                no_color_setup:    do not set colors if already taken care of

     REVISION HISTORY:
         + ?, ?                          : created from rbsp_emfisis_config.pro

## RBSP_RBSPICE_INIT

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

     PROCEDURE:  rbsp_rbspice_init

     PURPOSE:    Initializes system variables for RBSP RBSPICE.  Can be called from idl_startup to set custom locations.

                 The system variable !RBSP_RBSPICE is defined here.  The elements of this structure are explained below:

                 !RBSP_RBSPICE.LOCAL_DATA_DIR    This is the root location for all RBSP RBSPICE data files.
                      The RBSP RBSPICE software expects all data files to reside in specific subdirectories relative
                      to this root directory.;

                 !RBSP_RBSPICE.REMOTE_DATA_DIR   This is the URL of the server that can provide the data files.
                      (default is: "http://themis.ssl.berkeley.edu/data/themis/")
                      if the software does not find a needed file in LOCAL_DATA_DIR,
                      then it will attempt to download the data from the URL and REMOTE_DATA_DIR is defined,
                      the software will attempt to download the file from REMOTE_DATA_DIR, place it in LOCAL_DATA_DIR
                      with the same relative pathname, and then continue processing.

     KEYWORDS:
       reset:           Reset !rbsp_rbspice to values in environment (or values in keywords).
       local_data_dir:  use given value for local_data_dir, rather than environment. Only works on
                        initial call or reset.
       remote_data_dir: Use given value for remote_data_dir, rather than environment.  Only works on inital
                        call or reset.
       no_color_setup:  do not set colors if already taken care of

     REVISION HISTORY:
         + ?, ?                          : created from rbsp_emfisis_init.pro
         + Mar 2013,   K. Min            : ?
