== Information shown in the table ==
 
*The fields are now numbered starting from 1 to fit in with Cumulus MX where when the log file is read, adds a line number in front of the date field.
*The field number is shown starting from zero, this has two advantages:
** The Cumulus MX user may not be aware of this happening as it is within the internal workings.
**It stresses that the line consists of a date, (that should be a unique identifier, the same date should not be repeated in another line) plus data (mostly numerical, but some values are paired with a time)
*The original table below was for Cumulus 1 and then field number '''was''' starting from zero. So in some forum posts you might see references to old numbering, in others to new numbering. The old numbering from zero had two advantages:
**Numbering starting from zero is consistent with standard indexing used for arrays in programming languages (like JavaScript), so the number shown is the number to quote in any scripts you write to read this file if you just want to examine that particular derivative.
**#It stressesstressed that the linedate consistsfield ofwas adifferent to the rest. The date, (that should'''must''' be a unique identifier, the same date should not be repeated in another line) plus data (mostly numerical, but some values are paired with a time).
*#The remaining fields were all either numerical values or a time paired with preceding numerical value.

*The alphabetic column identifiers used by many spreadsheets are shown, please see warnings about using spreadsheets for editing earlier on this page
*The type of field is shown, you must not put a sign for an unsigned field, you can not specify a decimal point in an integer field, all time fields must use HH:mm format
