All data is logged in the units which which have been selected by the user on the station configuration screen. Note that 'comma-separated' does not necessarily mean that a comma is used to separate the values! If your PC uses a semicolon for the list separator, that will be used in these files. | All data is logged in the units which which have been selected by the user on the station configuration screen.

On your website, use the [[Webtags#Extra_Sensors|webtags listed here]] on a [[Customised_templates|template page]] that is processed by Cumulus to either display current values (this could be the indexT.htm page), or to treat as parameters for feeding graphics as on the 'gaugesT.htm' page.

In the '''View''' menu, select ''Extra data logs'', click '''Load...'''. The standard Windows File Select dialogue is displayed for the 'data' subdirectory of the Cumulus installation directory. Select the required monthly extra sensor log, click '''Open''' and you will see the contents in a neat table with column headings, rows striped, and the date/time on a lighter background. This is a text viewer, and works best when at full screen, but even then you are likely to need to scroll both horizontally and vertically to look at all the figures. If you click on an individual figure the cell will be highlighted, but you cannot edit the figures on a view screen. | In the '''View''' menu, select ''Extra data logs'', click '''Load...'''.
