This page was created for Cumulus 1, it has had some updates for MX, but not been kept up to date.
= Introduction =
** Although this file is technically not a 'log file', it is optionally automatically produced by Cumulus, and follows a similar format to the other Log files.
[[Image:CumulusInternetSettingsScreen.png|thumb]] This is the legacy screen that controls production of this file. Standard Cumulus only uses this file for the optional real-time wind gauges (see [[#Where is the file used]]). It exists as one way that current Cumulus derivatives can be supplied to [[Category:User Contributions|third party additions]], and its content can be tailored to the needs of whatever you choose. ▼
[[File:Badge v1.png]]: the following applies only to the legacy Cumulus.
The realtime.txt is used only in Cumulus 1 in the following areas: ▼
*the 2 wind graphics at the bottom of the standard 'gauges' page on the website produced by Cumulus ▼
*[[CumulusRealtime]] -- the new application developed in [http://silverlight.net/ SilverLight] ▼
*The [[WeatherConsole]] and [[Sidebar gadget]] [[:Category:AddOns|addons]]▼

*The 'interval' sets how often Cumulus produces the file, to set that interval, click on the 'Configuration' menu then 'Internet', then set parameter labelled 'Realtime interval' by entering an integer number of seconds.
*Optionally the file can be uploaded to your [[Website_setup|externally-hosted web site]], if you want this (and it is usual) select all 3 selectors:
On top of your internet connection bandwidth restrictions, you may also have bandwidth caps on your web server so this same figure should be considered for your web server.

[[File:Badge vMx.png]] The following applies only to MX.
'''Note:''' ''from b3075 onwards, all decimal tags now support the "rc=y" parameter - see below.''▼
To ensure decimal compatibility across systems use a js construct such as:▼
var rt = realtime.split(" ");▼
var temp = +rt[2].replace(',','.');▼
when referring to decimal values in the constructed file.▼
For releases after b3074 web tags now accept the "rc=y" parameter, so if your locale uses a comma decimal you must add this parameter to all the web tags that produce decimal values▼
