Default: '1' level : str indicates level of data (options: 'def' (definitive), 'pred' (predicted) Default: 'def' datatypes : str or list of str Datatypes for state data to be loaded (options: 'pos', 'vel', 'spinras', 'spindec') Default: ['pos', 'vel'] suffix: str The tplot variable names will be given this suffix. Default: None no_update: bool Set this flag to preserve the original data. if not set and newer data is found the existing data will be overwritten Default: False pred_or_def: bool Load definitive or predicted (if definitive isn't available); defaults to True Default: True Returns -------- list of str List of tplot variables created.
