== Differences between Cumulus 1 and MX versions of file ==
Any date/time entries are in different formats as this example from the wind section shows.
Any date/time entries are in different formats as this example from the wind section shows. Also note that Cumulus 1 will use a comma for representing the decimal point if that is how a decimal point is defined for the locale defined in your device, but Cumulus MX always expects periods/full stops in .ini files regardless of the locale in use. Thus if you want to swap from Cumulus 1 to Cumulus MX during a month, you will copy your existing Cumulus 1 "data" folder to within your MX installation, but you will also need to manually edit your '''month.ini''' file so all the date/time entries are converted to the format shown for MX in the table below. (Note that as Cumulus 1 and MX cannot be run together accessing the same weather station, the dates in the two columns do not match).

The wind speed and gust speed may be shown as integers if that is how your weather station outputs them, and you have not asked Cumulus to calculate them in different units.
