 rate_get_data
        Return the data of a RATE dataset.

 Usage:
        rate_get_data, rates, times[, distance=distance, $
                latitude=latitude]

 Arguments:
        rates   float   OUTPUT  A named variable to hold the flux or
                                count-rates.
        times   double  OUTPUT  A named variable to hold the times of
                                the data.

 Keywords:
        distance        double  output  A named variable to hold the
                                        heliocentric distance of the
                                        spacecraft.
        latitude        double  output  A named variable to hold the
                                        heliographic latitude of the
                                        spacecraft.

 Notes:
        The procedure can only work for a subset of RATE
        datasets. They must satisfy the following criteria:
        1 - All the streams must share a common time axis.
        2 - All the streams must have the same sector selections or at
           least the same number of sectors.
        In addition for the distance and latitude values to be
        returned:
        3 - All the streams must support ephemeris.
        4 - They must share a common set of ephemeris values.
        For errors to be returned, they must have been computed.
