The fields that can appear in the file vary depending on which release you are using. The list of fields available for your release can be seen in a file: <code>Extrafileheader.txt</code> stored in the folder containing the executable. The standard names shown in that list can be [[#General customisation|customised, as described below,]] to names that suit you better. | The fields that can appear in the file vary depending on which release you are using.

Unfortunately, MX kept compatibility with the legacy Cumulus, and just added extra fields to the end, rather than redesigning the whole concept and creating a new file design that just contains the fields currently being used. | Unfortunately, MX kept compatibility with the legacy Cumulus, and just added extra fields to the end, rather than redesigning the whole concept and creating a new file design that just contains the fields currently being used. | ||
It is probably technically impossible to have hardware that would use all possible fields, so most files will contain an awful lot of zeroes representing sensors not used in your implementation. Over time this represents extremely inefficient storage, as well as difficulty in finding fields of interest... | |||
