Methods for importing Helios data.
In general the data are available form a number of sources (replace ‘helios1’ with ‘helios2’ in url to change probe):
Distribution functions - Not publically available
Merged plasma/mangetic field - ftp://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/data/helios/helios1/merged/
6 second cadence magnetic field - ftp://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/data/helios/helios1/mag/6sec_ness/
If the data is publically available, it will be dowloaded automatically if it doesn’t exist locally.
