=Fine Offset Weather Stations=
Fine Offset weather stations, without solar or UV measurements, store all the observations in easyweather.dat when the EasyWeather software version 6.x is running. The file format for this has been described in detail [http://www.jim-easterbrook.me.uk/weather/ew/ here]. (You can view ''easyweather.dat'' like any text file either using a text file editor like Notepad or by using a database file viewer). A typical record is "5099, 2013-04-26 07:17:08, 2013-04-26 05:19:21, 15, 42, 18.1, 99, 6.5, 6.4, 6.5, 1004.0, 1014.4, 0.3, 1, 1.0, 1, 14, NW, 2531, 759.3, 0.3, 1.5, 2.7, 3.0, 22.2, 60.9, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 007FC0, 0F 2A B5 00 63 41 00 38 27 03 0A 00 0E E3 09 00 , "
 
[httphttps://sandaysoftcumulus.com/forumhosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=9294 This topic] suggests that weather stations using smartweather software create a file that can be read using the technique in [[EasyWeather_Format#Usage_of_easyweather.dat_fields_for_Cumulus_input_of_latest_record:| Usage of Easyweather.dat fields section below]].
 
==EasyWeatherPlus.dat==
Fine Offset weather stations that record Solar and UV measurements output to EasyWeatherPlus.dat file when Easyweather software version 6.x is running. This has the same fields as easyweather.dat, plus two extra fields for Solar and UV data (see field list at the end of this page).
 
Cumulus 1.9.4 beta build 1071 is first build that for ''''easyweather.dat'''' input method will ''Read UV and Lux values from easyweatherplus.dat'' file if [[Cumulus.iniini_(Cumulus_1)#Introduced_for_problems_with_Fine_Offset_family:|''''Extra Sensors'''']] selected in ''Settings'' frame on '''Station Settings''' screen.
Here is an example of an EasyWeatherPlus.dat record:
"8363, 2013-04-26 15:21:32, 2013-04-26 00:25:07, 5, 60, 20.6, 67, 15.2, 9.1, 12.6, 1010.3, 1018.7, 3.1, 2, 4.1, 3, 0, N, 20, 19666.8, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 6.3, 352.2, 352.2, 0.0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0054C0, 2420, 05 3C CE 00 43 98 00 77 27 1F 29 00 00 14 00 00 00 00 00 00 , "
==Usage of easyweather.dat fields for Cumulus input of latest record:==
People with non Fine Offset stations may wish to create data in this format for input to Cumulus running continuously, only the last record on the file is ever read, checking its time-stamp differs from the last one read.
See the forum (httphttps://sandaysoftcumulus.com/forumhosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4344) for more details.
 
*Note when reading easyweather.dat (or equivalent formatted input), Cumulus will read the station originated date and time fields, and Cumulus checks that they have changed before using new data from the file.
*'''3 - Reading date''' (yyyy-mm-dd)
*'''4 - Reading time''' (hh:mm:ss)
'''NOTE: Cumulus only checks the 'reading time' to identify whether there is a new reading, the computer time is used when Cumulus processes the record. See [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=14563 this forum topic].'''
*5 - Interval
*'''6 - Indoor Hum''' (Must be integer)
