SPEDAS contains many introductory scripts that you can run and modify in order to learn using IDL and SPEDAS.

MMS data analysis using SPEDAS: an introduction

This video shows a step-by-step introduction on how to use SPEDAS to make a simple plot:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=390FguKn7w4

This is the script that can be run in IDL:

pro test_mms1

 mms_init
 
 ; Select a time range
 trange = ['2015-09-01/21:15', '2015-09-01/21:25']

 ; Select a probe
 probe = 1

 ; Load FGM data
 mms_load_fgm, probe=probe, trange=trange, level='l2'

 ; Load position data
 mms_load_mec, probe=probe, trange=trange, level='l2'

 ; Select quantities to plot
 vars = ['mms1_fgm_b_gsm_srvy_l2', 'mms1_mec_r_gsm']

 ; Plot data
 tplot, vars

end


MMS multi-instrument plots

This video shows how to create multi-panel plots with SPEDAS and how to load data from multiple satellite probes:

The scripts in this video are here:

Pro multiple_plot_test

 mms_init
 trange = ['2015-09-01/21:15', '2015-09-01/21:25']
 probes=['1']
 mms_load_fgm, probes=probes, trange=trange, level='l2'
 mms_load_fpi, probes=probes, trange=trange, level='l2', datatype=['des-moms', 'dis-moms'], data_rate='brst'

 join_vec, 'mms1_des_bulk'+['x', 'y', 'z']+'_dbcs_brst', 'mms1_des_bulk_vel_dbcs'
 join_vec, 'mms1_dis_bulk'+['x', 'y', 'z']+'_dbcs_brst', 'mms1_dis_bulk_vel_dbcs'

 store_data, 'mms1_des_temps_brst', data=['mms1_des_temppara_brst', 'mms1_des_tempperp_brst']
 store_data, 'mms1_dis_temps_brst', data=['mms1_dis_temppara_brst', 'mms1_dis_tempperp_brst']
 store_data, 'mms1_numberdensity_dbcs_brst', data='mms1_d'+['i', 'e']+'s_numberdensity_dbcs_brst'

 window, 1
 tplot, window=1, title='MMS data - Sept 1, 2015', ['mms1_fgm_b_gsm_srvy_l2', 'mms1_des_bulk_vel_dbcs', 'mms1_des_temps_brst', $
    'mms1_dis_temps_brst', 'mms1_numberdensity_dbcs_brst', 'mms1_des_energyspectr_omni_avg', 'mms1_dis_energyspectr_omni_avg']

 tlimit, trange, window=1
 makepng, "C:\mms\mms_2a", window=1

End

Loading and ploting data from multiple probes:

Pro multiple_plot_test2

 mms_init
 trange = ['2015-09-01/21:15', '2015-09-01/21:25']
 probes = ['1','2','3','4']

 mms_load_fpi, probes=probes, trange=trange, level='l2', datatype=['des-moms'], data_rate='brst'

 window, 1
 tplot, window=1, title='MMS data - Sept 1, 2015', ['mms1_des_energyspectr_omni_avg', $ 
     'mms2_des_energyspectr_omni_avg', 'mms3_des_energyspectr_omni_avg', 'mms4_des_energyspectr_omni_avg']

 tlimit, trange, window=1
 makepng, "C:\mms\mms_2b", window=1

End


Themis SST plot

Here is an example script for an SST plot from Themis data:

pro test_themis_sst

 trange = ['2010-06-05','2010-06-06']

 ;set the date and duration (in days)
 timespan,trange

 ;set the spacecraft
 probe = 'c'

 ;set the datatype

 datatype = 'psif' ;(psef for electrons, psib/pseb for burst mode, psir/pser for reduced mode)

 ;loads particle data for data type
 thm_part_load,probe=probe,datatype=datatype

 ;calculate derived products
 thm_part_products,probe=probe,datatype=datatype,trange=trange,outputs =['energy','theta','phi','moments']

 ;view the loaded data names
 tplot_names

 ;plot the energy spectrogram, and angular spectrograms(despun spacecraft coordinates (DSL))
 tplot,['th'+probe+'_psif_eflux_energy','th'+probe+'_psif_eflux_theta','th'+probe+'_psif_eflux_phi','th'+probe+'_psif_density']
 
end


More examples

The source code of SPEDAS contains many more code examples and crib sheets. They are under directories called "examples", for each mission included in SPEDAS. See the directories:
