The table is split by Cumulus version for all changes since version 1.8.5; it shows:
#The field number
#The field number (starting from zero to be consistent with index used for arrays in programming languages like JavaScript) and the equivalent letter that would be seen in a spreadsheet like Libre Office, Open Office, Excel etc are listed in first column.▼
#*When this list was first produced, Cumulus 1 was all that was available and the decision then was to start with date in field zero to be consistent with index used for arrays in programming languages like JavaScript.
#*Now that Cumulus MX is the main product, it uses field zero for the line number, and therefore date moves to field 1.
▲#
#As a quick guide to which fields can take signs and which can not accept decimal places, the second column indicates formatting rules.
#*Any item labelled integer will not accept any decimal places. Any item labelled number
#*Any item labelled unsigned will not accept a minus sign. Those labelled signed don't need '''+''' for positive, but need '''-''' for negative.
#The third column shows an example, and the values shown are sometimes integers and sometimes floating point numbers, and this depends on a number of factors, including your station type. If you are editing the values manually, you should use integers for humidity, wind bearings, and the two solar radiation figures, and floating point for the others (add a ".0" if necessary). Note that the figure varies depending on the units you select, and your weather station may not have all the sensors needed, in that case for you some figures will always be zero.
