#* For each field the equivalent letter that would be seen in a spreadsheet like Libre Office, Open Office, Excel etc is also shown in first column.
#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 can in Cumulus 1 take integer or decimal values, but in MX the decimal places are mandatory.

#*Any item labelled unsigned will not accept a minus sign. Those labelled signed don't need '''+''' for positive, but do 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.
#The third column shows an example of a value accepted by Cumulus 1
#* For Cumulus 1, where decimals are allowed, the stored value might be an integer as 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 because MX must see decimal places where these are allowed).
#* Note that the figure in a field varies depending on the units you select, and your weather station may not have all the sensors needed.
#*In Cumulus 1 any fields defined in the version you are using for sensors you do not have will always contain zero. Also, for Cumulus 1 any fields that are not defined at the version when the line was created can:
#**Either be missing (no fields seen after the last field at your version)
#**Or can be null (field separators only are seen after the last field at your version)
#The final column describes the observation often with a link to where there is more information.
