#* 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) | |||
