* Information on the NASA IDL SPICE library IDL DAS2 Libraryĭas2dlm is an IDL DLM that provides bindings for the das2c library for connecting with DAS2 servers. On windows, you have to copy two files (icy.dlm, icy.dll) into the bin.x86_64 directory of the IDL installation folder. The installation is similar to any other dlm library. This library can be downloaded directly from NASA:
Some functions (for example, cspice_str2et) require the NASA SPICE library. You can check which version of CDF you have, by typing this at the IDL command prompt: help, 'cdf', /dlm IDL SPICE library
Running these scripts will download the latest version of the library and install them to your chosen IDL installation folder. The suggested installation method is to run the install script for your operating system (e.g., install_idl_win.bat for Windows, install_idl_win.sh for macOS/Linux). We recommend downloading and installing the most recent version (3.8.1) of the CDF DLM for IDL from NASA: You can check which version of Geopack DLM you have, by typing this at the IDL command prompt: help, 'geopack', /dlm IDL CDF library Installation instructions can be found in the download page, but basically you have to copy two files into the IDL bin directory, 1) a. We recommend using the latest version (Geopack 10.7). To use the Tsyganenko Model extensions with the SPEDAS software, you need to download and install the Geopack DLM. * Download the latest SPEDAS nightly build IDL libraries IDL Geopack library It can be installed the same way as the SPEDAS 4.0 release, above. This is build every day and it contains the most recent source code,īut it is untested and you may encounter bugs and unresolved problems. To start the SPEDAS GUI from the IDL command line, type: spd_gui SPEDAS nightly buildĪlternatively, you can download the nightly build instead of the SPEDAS 4.1 release. You may also need to separately download and install the latest CDF DLM from NASA and the latest Geopack DLM - see below for details.
Unzip the file you downloaded in a directory of your choice and create a new IDL project that includes this directory.
If you have an IDL license, you can download the SPEDAS 5.0 release, which contains the full source code: If you have an IDL license Download SPEDAS 5.0 (April 2022) Release notes for SPEDAS 5.0 are available here. If you don't have an IDL license, then you have two choices: you can either use the self-contained executables we provide, or you can separately install the IDL Virtual Machine (VM) and use the save file we provide, see below.
Check with your system administrator on how to obtain and install IDL. If you have an IDL software license, then you can downloadĪnd use either the SPEDAS 5.0 release or the untested the nightly build. Many bug fixes and performance improvements. Updated plugin support for the ERG, IUGONET, THEMIS, MMS and other missions, and This release includes improved support for HTTPS downloads, Of the software is now released for general use for users who have paidįor IDL licenses.
The QA process for SPEDAS 5.0 has now been completed, and this version
