+Fine Offset weather stations, without solar or UV measurements, store all the observations in easyweather.dat when the EasyWeather software 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).
-NOTE: Fine Offset weather stations that record Solar and UV measurements output to EasyWeatherPlus.dat file when Easyweather software is running.  This presumably has the same fields as easyweather.dat, plus two extra fields for Solar and UV data at the end - 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 ''''extra sensors'''' selected.

 '''Normally those using Cumulus software will stop using EasyWeather software, but the guidance below is for importing missing historic observations contained in easyweather.dat:'''
 If you were archiving your Fine Offset Easyweather.dat files, you probably need to rename the latest one,and restore the relevant old one before you follow these instructions.
