=The File Format=
The following are some useful technical links on the EasyWeather format
==EasyWeather.mdb==
Version 7.y of Easyweather software uses this, a different database type to Easyweather software version 6. The new file cannot be viewed by text file viewers nor standard database file viewers that I have tried. It will not be compatible with the version 6.x 'EasyWeather.dat' reader in Cumulus.
==EasyWeather.dat==
Fine Offset weather stations, without solar or UV measurements, store all the observations in easyweather.dat when the EasyWeather software version 6.x is running. The file format for this has been described in detail [http://www.jim-easterbrook.me.uk/weather/ew/ here]. (You can view ''easyweather.dat'' like any text file either using a text file editor like Notepad or by using a database file viewer).
[http://sandaysoft.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=9294 This topic] suggests that weather stations using smartweather software create a file that can be read using the technique in [[EasyWeather_Format#Usage_of_easyweather.dat_fields_for_Cumulus_input_of_latest_record:| Usage of Easyweather.dat fields section below]].
==EasyWeatherPlus.dat==
Fine Offset weather stations that record Solar and UV measurements output to EasyWeatherPlus.dat file when Easyweather software version 6.x is running. This has the same fields as easyweather.dat, plus two extra fields for Solar and UV data at the end.
Cumulus 1.9.4 beta build 1071 is first build that for ''''easyweather.dat'''' input method will ''Read UV and Lux values from easyweatherplus.dat'' file if [[Cumulus.ini#Introduced_for_problems_with_Fine_Offset_family.2C_but_may_be_more_widely_applicable:|''''extra sensors'''']] selected.
