Quick look plots

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

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.

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?
