For 'Protocol' leave it as 'FITS'. I suggest using '**NONE**' for compression as the cutout files generally don't take up much space. Type in your name and e-mail, and then click on 'Submit Export Request'. After a couple of minutes wait, click on 'Submit status request' and you should see a link to a tar file containing your data (it may take longer for large data-sets).

!!Reading cutout images
A cutout image can be read with:
{{{
IDL> read_sdo, file, index, data, /use_shared_lib
}}}
The /use_shared_lib keyword is highly recommended as it greatly increases the speed at which rice-compressed images are read. It may not work on all computers though (Windows?).

When read_sdo reads these files there's a small delay as each file gets uncompressed. This can be irritating if you're reading a large number of files in one go. Reading the uncompressed files is much quicker.
