FPI Moments

For more complete examples, see the FPI crib sheets located in the /mms/examples/basic/ folder.

Examples

Electron Moments Data

To load and plot the electron density on March 7, 2016 measured by the FPI instrument on MMS1:

MMS> mms_load_fpi, datatype='des-moms', trange=['2016-03-07', '2016-03-08'], probe=1

MMS> tplot, 'mms1_des_numberdensity_dbcs_fast'

Ion Moments Data

To load and plot the ion density, along with the omni-directional spectra on March 7, 2016:

MMS> mms_load_fpi, datatype='dis-moms', trange=['2016-03-07', '2016-03-08'], probe=1

MMS> tplot, ['mms1_dis_numberdensity_dbcs_fast', 'mms1_dis_energyspectr_omni_avg']
