=== Output Parameter Differences between Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX (Cumulus 3) ===
*Cumulus MX (when running on Windows) uses the '''.NET''' software.
*If Cumulus MX is running on Linux or Mac OS X, then it uses '''Mono''' software for same purposes. (MONO is a operating system independent version of .NET, although they are developed independently, they have common origins).
*The date and time format characters in Mono (and .NET) software framework are not exactly the same as the '''Delphi''' software framework ones that Cumulus 1 uses.
*For Cumulus MX see [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4(v=vs.110).aspx this Microsoft site] for format selectors available.
*The differences come about because Delphi is case-insensitive, while .NET and MONO are case sensitive, so .NET (and MONO) can use upper and lower case for different items, where Delphi has to use different letters.
This can cause problems when somebody moves from using Cumulus 1 to using MX. They need to revisit any templates or scripts where they use output modifiers to specify a date and/or time format. We have already explored this for [[Webtags#NOAA]]
*#For example,[[File:badge v1.png]] in Delphi, "nn" means "minutes" for Cumulus 1, [[File:Badge vMx.png]]but "minutes" is "mm" for .Net in Cumulus MX.
