_SolO-SIS-Loader_ is a python data loader for **Suprathermal Ion Spectrograph (SIS)** instrument on board **Solar Orbiter**. SIS is part of the Energetic Particle Detector (EPD) suite for the Solar Orbiter spacecraft and provides observations of He to Fe for an energy range from ∼100 keV/nucleon up to several MeV/nucleon.

## 🚀 Instrument Specifics

SIS is based on the ACE/ULEIS design which identifies particle species and energy by time-of-flight by energy technique. Particles are detected when they pass through the entrance foils and deposit their energy in the solid state detector at the back of the instrument. The very high mass resolution of m/sigma_m∼50 will allow SIS to measure particle populations with 3He/4He ratios down to <1%.

## 💾 Installation

_SolO-SIS-Loader_ requires ```python >= 3.8``` and can be installed from PyPI using ```pip```. In the terminal do the following:

```python
# install the required packages using pip
pip install solo-sis-loader
```

This will install all the necessary dependencies in the active python enviroment.

_SolO-SIS-Loader_ can also be installed directly from the github repository using the latest developed version (not recomended).

```python
pip install git+https://github.com/AthKouloumvakos/solo-sis-loader
```

## 📙 Usage

An example of how to search and download SIS data and load them in an xarray dataset.

```python
from solo_sis_loader import SIS
import sunpy.net.attrs as a

t_start = '2022-09-04'
t_end = '2022-09-08'
stime = a.Time(t_start, t_end)
level = a.Level('L2')

sis = SIS()
response = sis.search(stime, level=level)
files = sis.fetch(response)
sis.load(files)
```
