== Information shown in the table ==
== Information shown in the table ==


*The field number is shown starting from zero, this has two advantages:
*The fields are now numbered starting from 1 to fit in with Cumulus MX where when the log file is read, adds a line number in front of the date field.
**It stresses that the line consists of a date, (that should be a unique identifier, the same date should not be repeated in another line) plus data (mostly numerical, but some values are paired with a time)
** The Cumulus MX user may not be aware of this happening as it is within the internal workings.
**Numbering starting from zero is consistent with standard indexing used for arrays in programming languages (like JavaScript), so the number shown is the number to quote in any scripts you write to read this file if you just want to examine that particular derivative.
*The original table below was for Cumulus 1 and then field number '''was''' starting from zero. So in some forum posts you might see references to old numbering, in others to new numbering. The old numbering from zero had two advantages:
*#It stressed that the date field was different to the rest. The date '''must''' be a unique identifier, the same date should not be repeated in another line.
*#The remaining fields were all either numerical values or a time paired with preceding numerical value.
**Numbering starting from zero is consistent with standard indexing used for arrays in programming languages (like JavaScript), so the number shown '''was''' the number to quote in any scripts where a line was converted to an array, and you needed to address a single field.
*The alphabetic column identifiers used by many spreadsheets are shown, please see warnings about using spreadsheets for editing earlier on this page

*The type of field is shown, you must not put a sign for an unsigned field, you can not specify a decimal point in an integer field, all time fields must use HH:mm format
