NASA's Heliophysics Data Environment: "Creaders" for accessing CDAWeb Directly from IDL

Return to CDAWeb to IDL or HPDE Home

The "creaders" below are IDL programs to be used with the routine "cdaweb_get_bin" to bring data directly into IDL from CDAWeb. They may be used independently or as part of larger IDL codes. We will make continual additions to this list, and anyone with creaders they find useful is welcome to contribute to the list.
