Use the ISIS SPICE Web Service
</brief>
<description>
<p>
This option uses the ISIS SPICE Website to get the most up to
date kernels available. The ATTACH parameter must be enabled for this option. Manually
specifying kernel files is not allowed when this option is used. This service may
be temporarily unavailable when new Isis releases are being
distributed. Any mismatch in Isis version will cause this option to fail; only
the most recent version of ISIS is supported. An active internet
connection is required to use this service. Running with this option is slower than downloading the SPICE data locally (download all of $ISIS3DATA) and running spiceinit
with the local data. This data can take up a lot of space. The size of the download
will depend heavily on the mission and instrument of your input file.
