Hi folks,<br>
<br>
For those of you who will be attending the GEM conference in
Snowmass, CO<br>
next week, we'd like to let you know about a couple of sessions
we'll be<br>
holding Wednesday afternoon. The early session will focus more on <br>
plugin capabilities, multi-mission support, and upcoming
development<br>
plans for the SPEDAS platform. This will be followed by a TDAS
user tutorial,<br>
where we'll demonstrate some of the more advanced features and<br>
recent developments, using typical THEMIS data and workflows.<br>
<br>
We usually get a few interesting feature requests and bug reports at
these<br>
sessions, so if you have any suggestions or questions about how the<br>
software works, we'd love to hear about it!<br>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">SPEDAS 1.00 (the Space
Environment Data Analysis Software), supporting loading,
plotting, and data analysis for many space physics missions and
ground based observatories, including THEMIS, BARREL, POES/GOES,
MAVEN, VAP, MMS, SuperDARN, and all ISTP-compatible data at
SPDF, was recently released (<a href="http://spedas.org">http://spedas.org</a>
). The development team invites contributors/users to
participate in a users’ forum and will be holding a demo and
tutorial session for current and prospective SPEDAS users at the
GEM meeting (Wed. Jun.17 @ 1:30pm in the plenary session).
Contributions include the ERG team’s ERGWeb software, tools for
distribution function cuts, and many other updates since Fall
AGU. Developers are encouraged to participate. Demonstrations of
how to include a SPEDAS plugin for instrument/mission teams will
be discussed. Requests for new features will be vetted and will
be considered for development/inclusion with the next release.<span

<span lang="EN-US">TDAS, the THEMIS Data Analysis System is a
plug-in to SPEDAS. A tutorial session will be held at the same
room following the SPEDAS users’ forum (Wed. Jun 17 @ 3:30pm). It
will be geared towards new and on-going users of TDAS (though
relevant to SPEDAS users too), interested in analysis of other
mission data (as listed above). Bring your laptop and if connected
follow along with importing/analysis of data from any of the above
missions within minutes.</span><br>

Cheers,<br>
