Quick look plots
================

Let's see how you produce a quick look plot.
From a terminal, you may type as follows.

.. code-block:: sh

    irfpy-aspera-mex-plasma 2007-10-20T06:00:00 2007-10-20T08:00:00

The specification of the time should be always in the ISO format
(yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:dd).
It is recognized as UTC.

You can save the plot into a file using ``-o`` option.

.. code-block:: sh

    irfpy-aspera-mex-plasma -o 2100_1.png 2007-10-20T06:00:00 2007-10-20T08:00:00

Exercise
========

1. Can you plot the data in the same time period as above but using different color scale?
   (For example, between 10 and 500.)

2. Can you plot the MEX/IMA data as energy-time diagram for 16 different azimuthal sectors?
   (Hint: try to find a relevant command line program starting from ``irfpy-``.)


3. Can you plot the VEX plasma data between 2007-10-05T00:00:00
   and 2007-10-05T02:00:00?
