==Composite Example of 'today.ini' file==
 
The minimum content for this file is the "[General]" section. See [[FAQ#I.E2.80.99ve_just_installed_Cumulus.2C_and_it_didn.E2.80.99t_download_all_the_old_data_from_my_weather_station | FAQ here]] for the single reason why you might want to remove all other sections from your file. This is an example made up of composites that may not all be present in an actual file; and an actual file may have the sections in a different order. Because this example is made up of composites, the times shown are not all consistent, in a real file no time anywhere will be later than the time at the top!
 
*This composite contains time-stamp formats used by Cumulus 1.x.y and Cumulus MX in the few places where they differ. Notes in round brackets () are not part of the file, they simply explain elements of the composite.
 
'''Note:''' This is an example made up of composites that will not all be present in an actual file; some parts of this example will be specific to particular makes of weather station e.g. the Davis ET and Solar blocks in the middle, and the sync lines for Fine Offset shown at the end.
 
*This composite contains time-stamp formats used by Cumulus 1.x.y;
*Cumulus MX users should refer to the support forum for how dates and times are stored differently (because MX is writing all time-stamps '''in ISO format''' within ''today.ini'').
