Some of the Solar Orbiter data files at SPDF are organized with timestamps down to the second in the filename, e.g.: solo_l1_swa-eas-padc_20200620t120002-20200620t130001_v01.cdf We are currently using 60 sec resolution when...

It looks like erg.sd_fit() and erg.isee_brio() are loading some data the usual way, with cdf_to_tplot, then opening one of the CDFs and doing some sort of position table post-processing. We...

IDL GEOPACK has a routine to calculate the W coefficients from OMNI data. In Python, we're downloading data files from Tsyganenko's web site. It would be better to generate them...

Most of our mission directories have load routines defined in the `__init__.py` file for each module. This can be confusing, because the source code isn't in the obvious place `load_whatever.py`....

``` import pyspedas from pytplot import tplot mepi_tof_vars = pyspedas.erg.mepi_tof(trange=['2017-03-27', '2017-03-28']) tplot('erg_mepi_l2_tofflux_FPDU') ``` produces: `01-Feb-24 12:27:47: Too many dimensions on the variable: erg_mepi_l2_tofflux_FPDU`
