%
% function [gdat_data,gdat_params,error_status,varargout] = gdat(shot,data_request,varargin)
%
% Aim: get data from a given machine using full path or keywords. 
%      data_request are and should be case independent (transformed in lower case in the function and outputs)
%
% If no inputs are provided, return the list of available pre-defined data_request in gdat_data and default parameters gdat_params
%
% Inputs:
%
%    no inputs: return default parameters in a structure form in gdat_params
%    shot: shot number
%    data_request: keyword (like 'ip') or trace name or structure containing all parameters but shot number
%    varargin{i},varargin{i+1},i=1:nargin-2: additional optional parameters given in pairs: param_name, param_value
%                                            The optional parameters list might depend on the data_request
%              examples of optional parameters:
%                               'plot',1 (plot is set by default to 0)
%                               'machine','TCV' (the default machine is the local machine)
%
%
% Outputs:
%
% gdat_data: structure containing the data, the time trace if known and other useful information
% gdat_data.t : time trace
% gdat_data.data: requested data values
% gdat_data.dim : values of the various coordinates related to the dimensions of .data(:,:,...)
%                     note that one of the dim is the time, replicated in .t for clarity
% gdat_data.dimunits : units of the various dimensions, 'dimensionless' if dimensionless
% gdat_data.error_bar : if provided
% gdat_data.gdat_call : list of parameters provided in the gdat call (so can be reproduced)
% gdat_data.shot: shot number
% gdat_data.machine: machine providing the data
% gdat_data.gdat_request: keyword for gdat if relevant
% gdat_data.data_fullpath: full path to the data node if known and relevant, or relevant expression called if relevant
% gdat_data.gdat_params: copy gdat_params for completeness (gdat_params contains a .help structure detailing each parameter)
% gdat_data.xxx: any other relevant information
%
% gdat_params contains the options relevant for the called data_request. It also contains a help structure for each option
% eg.: param1 in gdat_params.param1 and help in gdat_params.help.param1
%
% Examples:
% (should add working examples for various machines (provides working shot numbers for each machine...))
% 
%    [a1,a2]=gdat;
%    a2.data_request = 'Ip';
%    a3=gdat(48836,a2);  % gives input parameters as a structure, allows to call the same for many shots
%    a4=gdat('opt1',123,'opt2',[1 2 3],'shot',48832,'data_request','Ip','opt3','aAdB'); % all in pairs
%    a5=gdat(48836,'ip'); % standard call
%    a6=gdat(48836,'ip','Opt1',123,'Doplot',1,'opt2','Abc'); % standard call with a few options (note all lowercase in output)

%
% Comments for local developer:
% This gdat is just a "header routine" calling the gdat for the specific machine gdat_`machine`.m which can be called
% directly, thus which should be able to treat the same type of input arguments
