MMS cribs
SPEDAS contains several crib sheets that show how to use the various MMS load routines and analysis tools. See also SPEDAS cribs for general purpose crib sheets (SPEDAS tools, tplot, etc.) and crib sheets for an index of all our crib sheet pages.
basic/introductory cribs
Basic crib sheets are meant to be used by users new to the MMS SPEDAS plugin.
The following crib sheets can be found in the SPEDAS distribution at:

- mms_feeps_sectspec_crib.pro -- Create FEEPS spectrograms for checking sunlight masking effectiveness
- mms_find_burst_intervals_crib.pro -- Use burst interval bar to find MMS burst intervals (start/stop times)
- mms_formation_crib.pro -- Create 3D plots of the spacecraft formation
- mms_load_aspoc_crib.pro -- Active Spacecraft Potential Control (ASPOC) data products
- mms_load_dsp_crib.pro -- Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Board products

SPEDAS also contains scripts that show more advanced usage of the MMS plugin, as well as scripts that generate multi-instrument/science quality (L2) figures; these scripts can be found in the folder:
projects/mms/examples/advanced/
- mms_basic_dayside.pro -- Basic dayside science overview plots
- mms_crib_stel3d.pro -- Use FPI and HPCA data with STEL3D visualization tool
- mms_load_fpi_crib_summary_l2.pro -- Level 2 FPI quicklook products
- mms_part_products_crib.pro -- Moments and spectrograms derived from FPI and HPCA particle distributions
- mms_slice2d_fpi_crib.pro -- 2D slices of FPI particle distributions
- mms_slice2d_hpca_crib.pro -- 2D slices of HPCA particle distributions
SPEDAS also contains scripts that use the MMS quicklook (QL) data to make QL figures:
projects/mms/examples/quicklook/
- mms_fields_crib_qlplots.pro -- Quicklook plots of various fields data.
- mms_load_eis_crib_qlplots.pro -- EIS quicklook figure
- mms_load_feeps_crib_qlplots.pro -- FEEPS quicklook figure
- mms_load_feeps-eis_crib_qlplots.pro -- Combined FEEPS / EIS plots
- mms_load_fpi_crib_qlplots.pro -- FPI quicklook figure
- mms_load_hpca_crib_qlplots.pro -- HPCA quicklook figure
