<h1>Matlab Madrigal remote data access tutorial</h1>
<p>The easiest way to use the Madrigal Matlab remote data access API is to simply let the web interface write the script you need for you.
Just choose the <i>Access data</i> pull-down menu and choose <i>Create a command to download multiple exps</i>. Then follow the instructions, and you will
have the command you need to download whatever you want from Madrigal. Be sure to select Matlab as the language you want to create the command with.
You can choose to download files as they are in Madrigal in either column-delimited ascii, Hdf5, or netCDF4 formats, or you can choose the
parameters yourself (including derived parameters), and optionally include filters on the data you get back.</p>
<p> The rest of this tutorial is for those who want to go beyond the automatically generated commands and write more advanced Matlab applications that
access Madrigal data.</p>
<blockquote>
<p> The following are the Matlab methods for accessing Madrigal data remotely:</p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li><a href="#getMadrigalCgiUrl">getMadrigalCgiUrl</a> - converts the Madrigal url to the cgi form required by the other methods</li>
<li><a href="#getVersion">getVersion</a> - returns a a string representing the Madrigal version</li>
<li><a href="#getInstrumentsWeb">getInstrumentsWeb</a> - returns a list of all instruments in Madrigal database</li>
<li><a href="#getExperimentsWeb">getExperimentsWeb</a> - returns a list of experiments for a given instument(s) and date range</li>
<li><a href="#getCgiurlForExperiment">getCgiurlForExperiment</a> - returns cgiurl of experiment.url as returned by getExperimentsWeb</li>
<li><a href="#getExperimentFilesWeb">getExperimentFilesWeb</a> - returns a list of files in a given experiment</li>
<li><a href="#getParametersWeb">getParametersWeb</a> - returns a list of measured parameters in a file, and derived parameters available</li>
<li><a href="#isprintWeb">isprintWeb</a> - returns data from a file as an array of doubles using user specified parameters and filters</li>
<li><a href="#madDownloadFile">madDownloadFile</a> - downloads a Madrigal file to local computer in various formats</li>
<li><a href="#madCalculatorWeb">madCalculatorWeb</a> - returns derived parameters for a given time and set of spatial locations</li>
<li><a href="#globalDownload">globalDownload</a> - globalDownload is a script to search through the entire Madrigal database for appropriate files to store locally. You can generate the arguments for this command via the web interface.</li>
<li><a href="#globalIsprint">globalIsprint</a> - returns user-specified data from multiple experiments. You can generate the arguments for this command via the web interface.</li>
</ul>
<p> A good way to learn how to use this Matlab API is to run this <a href=#example>example</a>.

output: cgi url for that Madrigal Site
Note: parses the homepage for the accessData link
</pre>
<a name="getVersion" id="getVersion"></a>

function version = getVersion(cgiurl)
getVersion returns a a string representing the Madrigal version
inputs: cgiurl (string) to Madrigal site cgi directory
(Example: 'http://madrigal.haystack.mit.edu/cgi-bin/madrigal/')

getInstrumentsWeb returns an array of instrument structs of instruments found on remote Madrigal server.
inputs: cgiurl (string) to Madrigal site cgi directory
(Example: 'http://madrigal.haystack.mit.edu/cgi-bin/madrigal/')
Note that method getMadrigalCgiUrl converts homepage url into cgiurl.

if Madrigal 2.6 or earlier.
Raises error if unable to return instrument array
Example:
getInstrumentsWeb('http://madrigal.haystack.mit.edu/cgi-bin/madrigal/')
</pre>
<a name="getExperimentsWeb" id="getExperimentsWeb"></a>
<pre>
***********************************************************
function expArray = getExperimentsWeb(cgiurl, instCodeArray, starttime, endtime, localFlag)
getExperimentsWeb returns an array of experiment structs given input filter arguments from a remote Madrigal server.
Inputs:
1. cgiurl (string) to Madrigal site cgi directory
(Example: 'http://madrigal.haystack.mit.edu/cgi-bin/madrigal/')
Note that method getMadrigalCgiUrl converts homepage url into cgiurl.
2. instCodeArray - a 1 X N array of ints containing selected instrument codes. Special value of 0 selects all instruments.
3. starttime - Matlab datenum double (must be UTC)
4. endtime - Matlab datenum double (must be UTC)
5. localFlag - 1 if local experiments only, 0 if all experiments
Returns a startime sorted array of Experiment struct (May be empty):
experiment.id (int) Example: 10000111
experiment.url (string) Example: 'http://madrigal.haystack.mit.edu/cgi-bin/madtoc/1997/mlh/03dec97'
Deprecated url used only in metadata. To see real url, use realUrl
field described below
experiment.name (string) Example: 'Wide Latitude Substorm Study'
experiment.siteid (int) Example: 1
experiment.sitename (string) Example: 'Millstone Hill Observatory'
experiment.instcode (int) Code of instrument. Example: 30
experiment.instname (string) Instrument name. Example: 'Millstone Hill Incoherent Scatter Radar'
experiment.starttime (double) Matlab datenum of experiment start
experiment.endtime (double) Matlab datenum of experiment end
experiment.isLocal (int) 1 if local, 0 if not
experiment.madrigalUrl (string) - home url of Madrigal site with this
experiment. Example 'http://madrigal.haystack.mit.edu/madrigal'
experiment.PI - experiment principal investigator. May be unknown for
Madrigal 2.5 and earlier sites.
experiment.PIEmail - PI email. May be unknown for Madrigal 2.6 or
earlier.
realUrl - real url to experiment valid for web browser
Raises error if unable to return experiment array
Example: expArray = getExperimentsWeb('http://madrigal.haystack.mit.edu/cgi-bin/madrigal/', ...
30, datenum('01/01/1998'), datenum('12/31/1998'), 1);
Note that if the returned
experiment is not local, the experiment.id will be -1. This means that you
will need to call getExperimentsWeb a second time with the cgiurl of the
non-local experiment (getCgiurlForExperiment(experiment.madrigalUrl)). This is because
while Madrigal sites share metadata about experiments, the real experiment ids are only
known by the individual Madrigal sites. See testMadmatlab.m
for an example of this.

Example: If expArray is the value returned in the getExperimentsWeb example, and
expArray(1).url = 'http://madrigal.haystack.mit.edu/cgi-bin/madrigal/madtoc/1998/mlh/07jan98', then

***********************************************************
function records = isprintWeb(cgiUrl, file, parms, user_fullname, user_email, user_affiliation, filters, outputFile, missing, assumed, knownbad)
isprintWeb Create an isprint-like 3D array of doubles via a command similar to the isprint command-line application, but access data via the web
The calling syntax is:
[records] = isprintWeb(cgiUrl, file, parms, user_fullname, user_email, user_affiliation, [filters, [outputFile, [missing, [assumed, [knownbad] ] ] ] ])
where
cgiUrl (string) to Madrigal site cgi directory that has that
filename.
(Example: 'http://madrigal.haystack.mit.edu/cgi-bin/madrigal/')
Note that method getMadrigalCgiUrl converts homepage url into cgiUrl.
file is path to file
(example = '/home/brideout/data/mlh980120g.001')
parms is the desired parameters in the form of a comma-delimited
string of Madrigal mnemonics (example = 'gdlat,ti,dti')
user_fullname - is user name (string)
user_email - is user email address (string)
user_affiliation - is user affiliation (string)
filters is the optional filters requested in exactly the form given in isprint
command line (example = 'time1=15:00:00 date1=01/20/1998
time2=15:30:00 date2=01/20/1998 filter=ti,500,1000')
See: Documentation -> Administrator's Guide -> Using isprint for file quick looks for details
outputFile - save the output to an output file. If externsion is in
.h5, .hdf, or .hdf5, the output format will be Madrigal Hdf5. If
extension is .nc, it will be netCDF4. Otherwise ascii.
missing is an optional double to represent missing values. Defaults to NaN
assumed is an optional double to represent assumed values. Defaults to NaN
knownbad is an optional double to represent knownbad values. Defaults to NaN
The returned records is a three dimensional array of double with the dimensions:
[Number of rows, number of parameters requested, number of records]
If error or no data returned, will return error explanation string instead.
Example: data = isprintWeb('http://madrigal.haystack.mit.edu/cgi-bin/madrigal/', ...
'/opt/madrigal/experiments/1998/mlh/07jan98/mil980107g.001', ...
'gdlat,ti,dti', ...
'Bill Rideout', 'wrideout@haystack.mit.edu', 'MIT');
For now avoids limits with urlread by only asking for maxRecs records at once. Repeatedly
calls isprintUnguarded, which is a method without any additional filtering.
