== CUMULUS 1 and MX differences ==
Some files apply to both Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX, some are only used by one flavour. See individual articles for such details.
* Cumulus 1 is reasonably tolerant of numbers using a comma to separate the integer and decimal part of real number. MX always expects periods/full stops in .ini files regardless of the locale in use, please see the [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=12908 Cumulus MX Announcements and Download - PLEASE READ FIRST] for details, as there is limited documentation, but generally if you want to transfer these files from Cumulus 1 to MX, it is best if '''you edit them so all decimal numbers have a "." between the integer and decimal parts'''.▼
* Note that in MX all file names are case-sensitive, please read documentation to see where capital letters are required in those file names. Be aware that wiki pages change first letter to a capital even when a file that must be all lower-case is being described.
* Cumulus 1 is tolerant of various separators for dates and times. Cumulus MX insists all times use a colon separator, and all dates are in ISO format. However, MX will read the date/time entries in the Cumulus 1 format, and it will only change them to the new format when it needs to update an extreme in that particular file.▼
* Cumulus 1 is reasonably tolerant of numbers using a comma to separate the integer and decimal part of real number.
** MX will accept both decimal commas and decimal full stops in the standard log files, the extra sensor log files, and the daily summary log file.

**However, MX will read the date/time entries in the Cumulus 1 format, and it will only change them to the new format when it needs to update a particular entry (e.g. an extreme) in that particular file. Consequently some files will have a different formats for the extremes that have existed for a while and for any new ones, meaning both formats will co-exist in those files.
* In individual articles, any differences in the precise content or format within individual files will be highlighted.
