!!!Procedure for obtaining SDO cutouts from the JSOC service
!!!Procedure for obtaining SDO cutouts for an EIS data-set
At line 5 changed one line
SDO cutouts (both AIA and HMI) can be obtained very quickly through the JSOC. In this article I illustrate how cutouts corresponding to a specific EIS raster can be obtained. Note that the method is generally useful and does not apply specifically to EIS: all you need is a field-of-view size and a pointing location.

Note that Lockheed also provide a cutout service, but this is much slower than the JSOC and does not return HMI data.

The wiki page [Obtaining pointing information from EIS data|EISPointing] explains how to obtain the center and FOV of an EIS raster, so you can follow the instructions there. You should get values of (xcen,ycen)=(199,305), and (fovx,fovy)=(120,160).

For 'Protocol' leave it as 'FITS'. Type in your name and e-mail, and then click on 'Submit Export Request'. ''If you're doing this for the first time, then you will have to register.'' 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).
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 not longer for large data-sets).

Note that cutouts will be rice-compressed images (there used to be an option to download uncompressed images, but this has been removed). See below for how to read compressed images quickly.
!!Get HMI cutouts
At line 46 removed 4 lines
Users should be aware that the AIA de-spiking routine (which is automatically applied to all files) can remove real data, which particularly affects small-scale, dynamic phenomena. The spikes can be recovered, however, so please check the page [re-spiking AIA images|AIARespike].

!!Downloading cutout images from IDL
After you have submitted your cutout request to the JSOC you will receive a request_id of the form 'JSOC_20161007_486'. You can check the status of your request from IDL by doing:
{{{
IDL> sdo_jsoc_check_status, request_id
}}}
which will check to see if the tar file is available for downloading. If it is, then you should see a message like:
{{{
The data are available at the webpage:
http://jsoc.stanford.edu/SUM9/D862749672/S00000
}}}
You can download and unpack the tar file to your current directory by doing:
{{{
IDL> sdo_jsoc_check_status, request_id, /download
}}}
Note that the tar file is automatically removed after unpacking.
!!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?).
!!Further information
Shea Hess Webber and Peter Young have written a [document|https://pyoung.org/gsfc/JSOC%20Export%20Process.pdf] giving more information about using the JSOC service.

This performs sub-pixel interpolations so that when you make a movie from the cutouts you do not see the occasional pixel jumps that otherwise would be seen. This isn't recommended if you plan to re-spike your cutouts.

''I want to respike my cutouts. Can I get spike cutouts?''\\
Please check the page [re-spiking AIA images|AIARespike].
''Why not download Rice-compressed files?''\\
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.

''What about HARPs? How do I extract information for these?''\\
A HARP is a HMI Active Region Patch, i.e., a cutout of HMI data that has been processed to yield, e.g., the vector magnetic field. See the separate page on [Extracting HARP data from the JSOC|JsocHarp].
''Can I get header information from JSOC without downloading data?''\\
Putting the following URL into your browser will give a text page with the specified keywords (T_OBS, WAVELNTH, EXPTIME and NSPIKES) given as columns.
