Here follow tables that group the tag names by the basic purpose of the tags listed. There has been confusion in the past of tags appearing in more than one group, can contributors remove any remaining duplication, so future maintenance is easier.
= Current Conditions =


There is a table of contents near the top of the page that you might find useful if you are interested in a particular tag group.  
We start with tags that relate to the latest values, as these are the ones that people most often choose to use. The current condition data is also available, for processes external to Cumulus, by using the inbuilt facility to generate [[Realtime.txt|a file]] with such data. CumulusMX makes current values available for a standard range of sensors where the same web tags apply across a range of weather station models. Current values from some [[#Extra Sensors|extra]] temperature and relative humidity sensors (see [[Extra temperatures]]) from particular weather station models are offered as well.

The tags in this first list are grouped for historical reasons and remain grouped.


We start with tags that relate to the latest values, as these are the ones that people most often choose to use. The current condition data is also available, for processes external to Cumulus, by using the inbuilt facility to generate [[Realtime.txt|a file]] with such data.
Cumulus software makes current values available for a standard range of sensors where the same web tags apply across a range of weather station models.
Both Cumulus 1 and MX offer current values from some [[#Extra Sensors|extra]] temperature and relative humidity sensors (see [[Extra temperatures]]) from particular weather station models.
Recently, MX has been developed to support further extra sensors (see [[Extra Sensor Files]] page for full list of fields) and web tags have been added to support equivalent current values only.
==== Feels Like ====
Feels like temperature was first made available, just for current conditions at MX version 3.5.4.  In version 3.6.0. it was extended to add max/min for each day, each month, each year, and all time. In version 3.6.11 it was added to recent history.
The figures quoted for this derivative vary between versions:
* The first formula was used from MX version 3.5.4 (25 Apr 2020) build 3075 until version 3.6.7 (4 June 2020) build 3083
* The second formula, which was coded incorrectly, and so gave strange results, applied in versions 3.6.8 to 3.6.9 (build 3084, 3085)
* The third, and hopefully final, formula applies from version 3.6.10 (build 3086).
A php script for adding feels like as calculated in version 3.6.10 to any standard log line created either without feels like, or with an older (now incorrect) calculation, can be downloaded from [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=18096 Create Missing topic on support forum]. Obviously, this calculates from the small sub-set of current conditions that have been logged, and is not as accurate at deriving maximum and minimum as derivation made as each reading is processed by MX (so including all current conditions).
The [[Calculate_Missing_Values#CreateMissing.exe| Create Missing utility]] will not correct the older (incorrectly calculated) figures, but will add Feels Like temperature values to any standard log line created by Cumulus 1, by MX prior to release 3.5.4, or if you have imported lines into the log from an external source.
===Standard sensors===
The web tags shown here are mainly determined by which appeared on the original "Now" legacy web page (index.htm).
Consequently, the totals for Rainfall this month, and this year, are included here for consistency with supplied web templates (indexT.htm, thismonthT.htm, and thisyearT.htm) and with the dashboard 'Now' part of the Cumulus MX user; although you might expect to find them listed in tables for this month and this year, those web pages do not show these derivatives.
Those listed here cover both measurements obtained from a weather station (like air temperature, wind speed and direction, humidity and barometric pressure); and all the derived values (like humidex, feels like, apparent temperature, wind chill, and heat index).
Note however, that the derived values calculated for Cumulus 1 and for MX may not agree because of differences in the calculation formulae, see derived value section within Recent History tags section for examples.

===Extra Sensors===  
==Extra Sensors==


Some tags are only available for certain builds, if the tables below do not say which releases they apply to, see general tip at top of page to check for the build you are using. In particular Cumulus 1 has fewer channels available in its earlier versions, and the final legacy software version 1.9.4 offers just 42 of the 62 extra sensor web tags available in MX.
The extra sensors functionality in Cumulus only supports processing for current spot values as read from the sensors. Periodically spot extra sensor values are logged, see the [[Extra_Sensor_Files|Extra Sensor Files]] page for information about log files from where you can extract the past spot values. The logging can be compared to the Standard Logfiles.


The extra sensors functionality in Cumulus only supports processing for current spot values as read from the sensors, the only processing is to convert the units ready for output, so only current conditions can be reported in web tags.
===Extra Sensors: Davis models and Oregon Scientific WMR928, WR100/200 ===


Periodically spot extra sensor values are logged, see the [[Extra_Sensor_Files]] page for information about log files from where you can extract the past spot values.
These web tags hold current values for additional sensors supported by CumulusMX. For Oregon Scientific model like WMR-200 with USB connection, please refer to [[#Web tags mentioning (outside) temperature]] because any of the extra temperature tags below can be redirected to '''<#temp>''', and consequently also have web tags reporting daily extremes and longer period extreme records.

=== Extra Sensors: Ecowitt ===


Ecowitt stations are sold under other names depending on nation,  e.g. Ambient in USA, Froggit in central Europe, so Ecowitt is used as a generic name in this Wiki. See also [https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?board=111.0 WXForum.net].


====Extra Sensors: Ecowitt====
==== WH45 CO₂ sensor ====
 
Ecowitt stations are sold under other names depending on nation,  e.g. Ambient in USA, Froggit in central Europe, so Ecowitt is used as a generic name in same way as Fine Offset is used as a generic name for stations sold under a variety of branding, in this Wiki.

Determination of how to correct the PM value is highly dependent on the conditions and placement of the sensor. See the specification sheet for the sensor or create some multivariate regression line based on calibration measurements. This is also valid for PM sensors like the AirLink. The normal amateur usage of PM sensors is that the uncorrected values are published.

== System ==
=Today=
 
Cumulus allows some control over the time that "Today" begins:
# You can define the log rollovertime. Choose between 9am or midnight.
# For the weather diary feature '''SnowDepthHour''' The default SnowDepthHour is 0
 
Readings from your weather station are assigned to the "Today" based on 3 options for [[Meteorological day]]
# starting at 9:00 am, based on winter time, so switching to 10:00 during Daylight Saving (summer) time, or
# starting at 9:00 am, all year round, or
# aligned with calendar days, so today starts at midnight
 
The independence of the start time for weather diary and weather station related web tags means needs to be remembered when labelling web tags from the two tables below. It was assumed that you would use 9 a.m. as start time for both, but not care when snow fell, as it often has in the UK, after Summer Time has begun, so weather station tags were by default reporting from 10 a.m. local time and snow as at 9 a.m.


Special tags returning information about the Windows device hosting Cumulus 1.  
In MX, if you choose 9 a.m. (optionally 10 a.m. in summer) for rollover, so all the standard derivative are assigned to the date the meteorological day starts as Today, but the sunshine hours recorded against today will be from midnight on the said date.


[[File:Badge vMx.png]]''If you are running MX, then most tags do not work.''
==Weather Diary==


This first table lists all the web tags available for reporting what is recorded in the weather diary. Just to be clear, the web tags shown below, will report data for previous day if the current time is before the snow depth hour setting, and report data for the current day if the current time matches the snow depth hour or is later.

|Today's high heat index
 
|<#TheatindexTH>
This is the end of the meteorological day, so if during Daylight Saving Time rolover is at "10 am", then on the day DST ends it will return to "9 am" ensuring every meteorological day is exactly 24 hours long. If the time is "Midnight" (or during DST it is "9 am"), then days will be 23 or 25 hours long just on day clocks change, 24 hours otherwise.

The JavaScript '''Date''' object contains the number of miliseconds since 00:00:00.000 UTC on 1st January 1970, that date and time is known as the UNIX Epoch.  In JavaScript, you can use <tt>Math.floor(new Date().getTime()/1000.0)</tt> This getTime method returns the time in milliseconds.  The web tag returns an integer (currently with 13 digits) representing the number of milliseconds since the UNIX epoch when the web tag was processed. It can be used in a script where you wish to re-express other times output by Cumulus MX into UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).  Mac OS X uses 00:00:00.000 UTC on 1st January 2001 as the starting time and date for its millisecond count, so that is considerably lower.
 
Note that UTC is calculated using 9192631770 times a particular transition time for Caesium 133 as a basis for 1 second. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is calculated on the basis that 1 second is 1/86400 of the time taken for a whole (day) rotation of the Earth. UT1 (or solar time) is calculated from various space measurements. Periodically, leap seconds are added to UTC to realign it with UT1, but these leap seconds are not added to the count of milliseconds represented by this web tag.
 
Do be aware that some devices will use a 32 bit signed integer to represent this number, and that will stop working on 19 January 2038, the year 2038 problem for computing world.

==Today==
 
Cumulus allows some control over the time that "Today" begins:
* For the weather diary feature (originally called "The Log" if you have a very old release or look at old posts on the support forum), Cumulus classifies what you enter by a date. The hour of the day, when that date is first applied, is set in the configuration by the '''SnowDepthHour''' (called that as the only tag name available in the legacy Cumulus was for Snow Depth.
**  The default snow depth hour is 9 for the legacy Cumulus and 0 for MX.
* Readings from your weather station are assigned to the "Today" based on 3 options for [[Meteorological day]]
*# starting at 9:00 am, based on winter time, so switching to 10:00 during Daylight Saving (summer) time, or
*# starting at 9:00 am, all year round, or
*# aligned with calendar days, so today starts at midnight
 
The practice for professional meteorologists varies between nations, some of the traditional practices listed below have been abandoned now most weather reading is by machines:
* Generally, Meteorologists report snowfall, and snow days, on a calendar day basis (i.e. midnight to midnight).
* Most frequently, the Lowest temperature for a day is that recorded prior to the start time for Highest temperature.
** This is because Meteorologists in the past took manual observations at one, or more, fixed times during each day (9 a.m. was the most common, and the closest lowest temperature was generally earlier that morning, while the closest highest temperature was generally the following afternoon)
* Sunshine hours were recorded from sunrise to sunset, so assigned to "Today" aligned with calendar day
* The way that total rainfall was reported varied:
** Some nations assigned used days that ended at 9 a.m. so rainfall was recorded against the end date
** Sometimes totals were recorded separately for 9 a.m to 3 p.m, with 3 p.m. to 9 a.m being assigned to next day (again these were manual observation times)
** In other cases, the total for 9 p.m to 9 a.m was recorded separately, and possibly assigned to the day after the total for 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
 
Cumulus does not support most of these practices. The independence of the start time for weather diary and weather station related web tags means needs to be remembered when labelling web tags from the two tables below.  Steve Loft assumed that you would use 9 a.m. as start time for both, but not care when snow fell, as it often has in the UK, after Summer Time has begun, so weather station tags were by default reporting from 10 a.m. local time and snow as at 9 a.m.
 
In MX, if you choose 9 a.m. (optionally 10 a.m. in summer) for rollover, so all the standard derivative are assigned to the date the meteorological day starts as Today, but the sunshine hours recorded against today will be from midnight on the said date.
 
===Weather Diary===
 
This first table lists all the web tags available for reporting what is recorded in the weather diary. Just to be clear, the web tags shown below, will report data for previous day if the current time is before the snow depth hour setting, and report data for the current day if the current time matches the snow depth hour or is later.

[[File:Badge v1.png]] Input and output is always as integer. Available from very early builds, weather diary input amended from version 1.8.6 14th April 2009 to allow units to be specified on diary edit screen. If you choose to enter as whole millimetres,  you can use JavaScript (or another script language) on your web page to divide the web tag by 10 and get centimetres to 1 decimal place on output.

[[File:Badge v1.png]] Not available in Cumulus 1. There is no web page workaround, unless you write a script that reads [[Weather Diary]] and makes relevant information available on your web server.
|}
 
===Today.ini===
 
As explained earlier, these tag names relate to latest [[Meteorological day]] and they are populated from information held in [[today.ini]], as the sub-section title suggests; except for Sunshine Hours which relate to latest Calendar day and can be taken from either [[yesterday.ini]] or "today.ini" depending on (respectively) whether before or after rollover time if that is not midnight.
 
Where a tag name reports a value specific to a past time in today-so-far, there will also be a tag name that can give the time of day, shown in same row of table below. For those that cover whole day so far, the final column contains "n/a". Please note none of the time tags can be modified by output parameters to give a date, but they can be changed from the default time format that is 'H:mm' (24 hour clock notation without leading zero for hour) for Cumulus 1 and MX.
 
Also as explained earlier, there is some inconsistency in naming with "T" not included in all tag names, "T" is used in conjunction with "H" or "L" as a suffix for extreme values/time-stamps, but a prefix "T" can identify today's value, or prefix "T" can signify a time-stamp.
 
In the legacy '''todayT.htm''' template, in the legacy "/web" folder, use was made of a selection of the tag names listed here.
 
If you are using MX, the today and yesterday page in the [[MX_Administrative_Interface]] shows similar information by using the [[Cumulus_MX_Local_API#Today.2FYesterday_Data|local application programming interface]].

== No Commas ==
 
'''This section is for those locales where a comma is used instead of a full stop to separate the integer and decimal parts of a number.'''  ''This section on this Wiki page was written for the legacy Cumulus (1.9.4) software.'' Although tag names in this section can be used in Cumulus MX, for backwards compatibility, there is now a better way to ensure that the value output by web tags can be understood by script languages which expect a full stop between the integer and decimal parts of a number.
 
Note that Cumulus does not use thousand separators, so the only places a comma can be used are as a field separator, or as a decimal separator. Obviously it cannot be used for both.  Some computer languages like JavaScript will not accept a comma being used for this purpose.
 
===MX===
 
Cumulus MX uses JavaScript Object Notation files for many of its data transfers.
 
From '''release 3.5.4''' build 3075, most web tags (one notable exception is indoor temperature <#intemp> where rc parameter not available until release 3.6.8 build 3084), that produce decimal number output now support the "'''rc=y'''" option. e.g. <tt><#tempYH rc=y></tt> will report yesterday's highest temperature using a full stop to separate decimal part where the locale would normally use a comma.
 
===Legacy Cumulus===
 
Cumulus 1.9.4 uses JavaScript for various tasks, as do various third party web pages.
 
From '''version 1.9.3''' build 1045, Cumulus 1 (and MX) has provided some current conditions web tags, some today web tags, and some recent history web tags in an alternative format where (regardless of locale) the number is always output in a format that uses a decimal point. They are listed in the sub-sections that follow and all correspond to the same tag  name with the letters 'RC' removed that has been listed in respective sections of this Wiki page.
 
====RC CURRENT CONDITIONS:====
 
<#RCtemp>, <#RCdew>, <#RCheatindex>, <#RChum>, <#RCinhum>, <#RCintemp>, <#RCpress>, <#RCrfall>, <#RCrrate>, <#RCwchill>, <#RCwgust>, <#RCwspeed>, <#RCwlatest>
 
====RC TODAY:====
 
<#RCpressTH>,  <#RCpressTL>,  <#RCrrateTM>,  <#RCtempTH>, <#RCtempTL>, <#RCwgustTM>,  <#RCdewpointTH>, <#RCdewpointTL>, <#RCwchillTL>, <#RCheatindexTH>, <#RCapptempTH>, <#RCapptempTL>
 
====RC RECENT HISTORY:====
 
<#RCRecentOutsideTemp>, <#RCRecentWindSpeed>, <#RCRecentWindGust>, <#RCRecentWindLatest>, <#RCRecentWindChill>, <#RCRecentDewPoint>, <#RCRecentHeatIndex>, <#RCRecentPressure>, <#RCRecentRainToday>, <#RCRecentUV>
 
Although 'Apparent Temperature' is not included as a tag, it can be [[FAQ#What_formula_does_Cumulus_use_for_Apparent_Temperature.3F | calculated]] in a script from the RC tags for 'outside temperature', 'wind speed', and 'relative humidity' values. In php language this is <tt>$RCapptempCALC =  round(<#temp> + (0.33 * (<#hum> / 100 * 6.105 * exp (17.27 * <#temp> / (237.7 + <#temp>) ))) - (0.7 * $wspeed) - 4.0, 2);</tt>.
 
There are other derivatives that can be calculated similarly from a set of simultaneous values, as described below the recent history section.
 
==Yesterday==
 
Note that the Y indicating yesterday is sometimes a prefix, sometimes a suffix (with H for High, L for Low), web tags are not named consistently!
 
Many of these web tags are used on the supplied '''yesterdayT.htm''' template.
 
If you are using MX, the today and yesterday page in the [[MX_Administrative_Interface]] shows similar information by using the [[Cumulus_MX_Local_API#Today.2FYesterday_Data|local application programming interface]].
 
For web tags that refer to a particular time of day, there is a corresponding web tag that can give the time of day. Please note none of the time web tags can be modified by output parameters to give a date, but they can be changed from the default time format that is 'h:mm'.

|[[File:Badge vMx.png]] Available from version 3.6.10
*For an extreme day it shows the day of the month and the month name in full i.e. format "dd MMMM" (same for Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX), prefixed with the word 'on' again ending with the year.  
*For the highest/lowest within a day in the year it shows both time and date adding the word "at" before the time, and the word 'on' before the date (i.e. on the standard web page the time comes first, not as seen in admin interface).

This table shows most of the web tags used on the "thisyearT.htm" web template.
 
The web tags in the date column output dates in the format "dd MMMM" (for once this is same for Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX). Should you require a different output format, this can be changed using the [[#Time.2FDate_.27format.27_Parameter|format parameters]] described above. For web tags that represent daily values, there are (obviously) no corresponding time web tags, but for high and low spot values the default 'h:mm' format of the time output can be changed using output parameters. Do make sure that you get the web tag names right and the output form at parameters right.
 
As another example of inconsistency in how web tags added in different versions are coded, there are two web tags (highest minimum/lowest maximum temperatures) where a standard web tag is not provided by Cumulus (1 or MX) for the associated time-stamp. Consequently, for these 2 (and their corresponding tags in the this month group), there are mandatory output parameters required as shown in the table. Obviously Cumulus 1 lets you use "NN", "nn", "MM", or "mm" for the minutes, but minutes can only be represented in one way in Cumulus MX.
 
Remember that the Year-to-date runs from roll-over time on 1 January for all web tags listed here.
 
The list below does NOT include any web tags that represent seasonal derivatives, i.e. where you define the month from which they start counting. (Cumulative seasonal Chill Hours <#chillhours> and Total seasonal rainfall <#ryear> can both be found in [[Webtags#Current_Conditions|Current Conditions]]). Note, that does not imply both are included in '''indexT.htm'''.


The web tags in the date column default output dates in the format "dd MMMM". For web tags that represent daily values, there are (obviously) no corresponding time web tags, but for high and low spot values the default 'h:mm' format of the time output can be changed.

'''These tag names represent extreme record values (and corresponding time-stamps) for any particular month (1 =January, and so on, to 12 =December) in all years''' (HAR To place somewhere)


This table lists the web tags that appear in the '''recordsT.htm''' example template that is included in each release since version 1.5.1 10th January 2006.  Additional tags correctly populated from 3.6.10 (build 3086) or 3.7.0 (build 3089) are marked with a "MX" icon as they are not available in Cumulus 1. Please note the 3.6.10 release was available from 24 June 2020, if the date shown for those MX only tags is before when you installed that (or a later release), the output may show incorrect values.
This table includes webtags that show the values in [[Monthlyalltime.ini]] log file.


The output from the web tags shown in the date/time column have the default format that is seen on "records.htm" in the standard web pages:
These are a set of tags for monthly all-time highs and lows, in other words the highest and lowest values for a particular month of the year.
*The default format for an extreme month is to show the month name in full i.e. format 'MMMM' followed by the year in full.
# The tag names listed here require a [[Webtags/Parameters#Input_modification_Parameters|input modification parameter]].
*For an extreme day it shows the day of the month and the month name in full i.e. format "dd MMMM" (same for Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX), prefixed with the word 'on' again ending with the year.  
# The tag names here can optionally take any [[Webtags/Parameters#Output_modification_parameters|output modification parameters]].
*For the highest/lowest within a day in the year it shows both time and date adding the word "at" before the time, and the word 'on' before the date (i.e. on the standard web page the time comes first, not as seen in admin interface).
# To supply both optional input modification, and optional output modification parameters, separate them with spaces, e.g. <#ByMonthTempHT mon=7 format=hh:nn>. In that example, the time (not date) of highest ever temperature in July is returned after processing by Cumulus.
 
You can change the default output on either the standard web template, or in your own file,  by using the [[#Time.2FDate_.27format.27_Parameter|formats]] features described above, but this can involve complicated use of single and double quotes and there are differences between Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX. Please see examples section above for advice.
 
Note that unlike the this month and this year web tags, the time and the date are both included in the default format of the standard time-stamp web tags for the 'highest minimum' and 'lowest maximum' temperatures, yet another inconsistency!

Because the rainfall this month does not appear on '''thismonthT.htm''' web page, it is shown in [[#Current_Conditions|indexT.htm]] table earlier in this article which is for the web page where it does appear.
=Day/Night/Sun/Moon=


The web tags in the date column output dates in the format "dd MMMM" (for once this is same for Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX). Should you require a different output format, this can be changed using the [[#Time.2FDate_.27format.27_Parameter|format parameters]] described above. For web tags that represent daily values, there are (obviously) no corresponding time web tags, but for high and low spot values the default 'h:mm' format of the time output can be changed using output parameters. Do make sure that you get the web tag names right and the output form at parameters right.
These values are calculated hourly.
 
As another example of inconsistency in how web tags added in different versions are coded, there are two web tags (highest minimum/lowest maximum temperatures) where a standard web tag is not provided by Cumulus (1 or MX) for the associated time-stamp. Consequently, for these 2 (and their corresponding tags in the this year group), there are mandatory output parameters required as shown in the table. Obviously Cumulus 1 lets you use "NN", "nn", "MM", or "mm" for the minutes, but minutes can only be represented in one way in Cumulus MX.

!style="width:150px" | Webtag name
These are a set of tags for monthly all-time highs and lows, in other words the highest and lowest values for a particular month of the year. 
!style="width:600px" | Function
# The tag names listed here require a [[Webtags/Parameters#Input_modification_Parameters|input modification parameter]].
# The tag names here can optionally take any [[Webtags/Parameters#Output_modification_parameters|output modification parameters]].
# To supply both optional input modification, and optional output modification parameters, separate them with spaces, e.g. <#ByMonthTempHT mon=7 format=hh:nn>. In that example, the time (not date) of highest ever temperature in July is returned after processing by Cumulus.
 
At release 3.6.10 (build 3086), and at release 3.7.0 (build 3089); additional tag names were introduced:
* They are marked with a "MX" icon as they are not available in legacy Cumulus 1.
* If you have any "feels like temperatures" that appear with a date/time parameter with a date before 24 June 2020, or before you installed the 3.6.10 release (or a later release), then the value web tag may show incorrect values.

|<#timeJavaScript>
| The JavaScript '''Date''' object contains the number of milliseconds since 00:00:00.000 UTC on 1st January 1970, that date and time is known as the UNIX Epoch.  In JavaScript, you can use <code>Math.floor(new Date().getTime()/1000.0)</code> This getTime method returns the time in milliseconds.  The web tag returns an integer (currently with 13 digits) representing the number of milliseconds since the UNIX epoch when the web tag was processed. It can be used in a script where you wish to re-express other times output by Cumulus MX into UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).  Mac OS X uses 00:00:00.000 UTC on 1st January 2001 as the starting time and date for its millisecond count, so that is considerably lower.
 
Note that UTC is calculated using 9192631770 times a particular transition time for Caesium 133 as a basis for 1 second. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is calculated on the basis that 1 second is 1/86400 of the time taken for a whole (day) rotation of the Earth. UT1 (or solar time) is calculated from various space measurements. Periodically, leap seconds are added to UTC to realign it with UT1, but these leap seconds are not added to the count of milliseconds represented by this web tag.
 
Do be aware that some devices will use a 32 bit signed integer to represent this number, and that will stop working on 19 January 2038, the year 2038 problem for computing world.

|<#ByMonthRainRateH>

|High Rain Rate
| Unix tracks the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch. So this web tag can be used when you do not want the millisecond accuracy of the previous web tag. Like previous web tag this relates to UTC, so see details for that tag to find out more.

=Alarms=
In Cumulus 1 most of these are only calculated at UTC zero hours, but are updated each hour to refer to current time-zone.
 
There are web tags for each alarm condition, they give a value of '1' if the alarm condition is enabled and is still currently met; otherwise '0'.


MX is more complicated, but most of these are calculated hourly.

|<#daylength>
|<#TempChangeUpAlarm>  
|Length of day in hours and minutes (sunrise to sunset) -  The third party library that Cumulus uses each midnight UTC (in legacy cumulus), may take last sunrise from previous day and next sunset from next day, so the calculation may be off by a minute or so compared to true figure for current day.

==Alarms==
= Extreme Records =


[[File:badge v1.png]]There are a set of tags available in Cumulus 1 for various alarm states. In Cumulus 1, the main page will change the colour of the relevant element when an alarm condition is entered or left. You can add sounds, and enable disable each alarm parameter on the Main Cumulus screen, Edit menu.
There are a set of tags for the Cumulus record states. They give a value of '1' if the record has been exceeded; otherwise '0'.  


[[File:Badge vMx.png]]Alarms are also available in later MX versions. In MX, the alarm conditions are shown on the bottom of the Dashboard page of the user interface. You can add sounds, and enable/disable each alarm parameter on the Alarms screen within Settings menu.
These web tags will be set from the time of the record until a timeout value is met (by default each record remains set for 24 hours).  
 
You can change the default timeout through the parameter ''Station Settings=>Common Options=>Advanced Options''.
 
== Table of web tags available for extreme records ==


For both flavours, there are web tags for each alarm condition, they give a value of '1' if the alarm condition is enabled and is still currently met; otherwise '0'.

== Extreme Records ==
 
There are a set of tags for the Cumulus record states. They give a value of '1' if the record has been exceeded; otherwise '0'. For daily records (e.g. temperature range), the record cannot be set until the end of the day when rollover starts. The tag is cleared in Cumulus 1 once the record has been viewed (via main screen or web tag).
 
=== Differences depending on Cumulus versions ===
 
[[File:Badge v1.png]] Cumulus 1.9.x supports all the web tags listed in table below, with the exception of those relating to "humidex" and "feels like".
 
[[File:Badge v1.png]] For Cumulus 1 the tags are cleared in one of two ways:
#Generation of a web page where the web tag is set, clears the record for that web tag.
#Viewing of an extreme screen tab clears all records listed on that tab.
 
[[File:Badge vMx.png]] For versions up to 3.5.0 Cumulus MX works in a different way both in terms of how tags are set (see various topics in support forum) and how they are cleared (essentially the end of rollover clears records, so daily records are only shown for the few microseconds while rollover is being processed). From version 3.7.0, Cumulus MX offers all the web tags listed in table below, at earlier versions it offers a subset of those listed.
 
[[File:Badge vMx.png]] For MX these web tags will be set from the time of the record until a timeout value is met (by default each record remains set for 24 hours).
 
'''You can change the default MX timeout''':
*Add a <tt>RecordSetTimeoutHrs=NN</tt> entry to [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_Station|[Station] section in Cumulus.ini]]
*'''NN''' can be set to any reasonable integer representing hours (for the default set the number '''NN''' to '24').

Latest revision as of 13:08, 27 February 2024

This page has been updated until CMX version 3.27.1

This list only contains the tag names. Tag names are the basic entity when asking a value. Check the Usage of webtags and don't forget tag names are only part of the general format for Webtags. It does not indicate what parameters they can take, nor does it include the brackets the tag name is surrounded by when you quote it in a template file for Cumulus to process.

Here follow tables that group the tag names by the basic purpose of the tags listed. There has been confusion in the past of tags appearing in more than one group. If you find such occurrence you may notify or modify.

Current Conditions

We start with tags that relate to the latest values, as these are the ones that people most often choose to use. The current condition data is also available, for processes external to Cumulus, by using the inbuilt facility to generate a file with such data. CumulusMX makes current values available for a standard range of sensors where the same web tags apply across a range of weather station models. Current values from some extra temperature and relative humidity sensors (see Extra temperatures) from particular weather station models are offered as well.

Standard sensors

The tags in this first list are grouped for historical reasons and remain grouped.

Webtag name Function
Temperature
<#temp> The outside (air) temperature
<#intemp> The inside temperature
<#TempChangeLastHour> The change in outside temperature over the last hour
<#temptrend> The average rate of change in temperature over the last three hours. Trend = (temp now - temp 3hrs ago) / 3 (the calculation selected for this trend matches the standard-based calculation for <#presstrendval> despite the naming inconsistency)
<#temptrendsigned> signed string value of temperature trend
<#temptrendtext> Temperature change over the last three hours - Rising/Falling/Steady (values can be set in strings.ini)
<#temptrendenglish> Temperature change over the last three hours - Rising/Falling/Steady (for use by HTML, javascript etc, values can't be changed).
<#heatindex> Current heat index.
<#humidex> Current Humidex
<#apptemp> The apparent temperature. The referenced page in weather terminology section of this Wiki explains it. The formula used is that defined by BOM. Although at temperatures above 20°C (68°F) Feels like reports an "apparent temperature" it uses a different formula.
<#wchill> The current wind chill temperature. The referenced page in weather terminology section of this Wiki explains it. For temperatures below 10°C (50°F) Feels like reports the same value.
<#feelslike> Available for version 3.6.10 and up. See Feels Like
<#IsFreezing> If outside temperature is at or below 0°C/32°F. 0=Above freezing, 1=Below freezing
<#chillhours> The number of 'chill hours' so far this season (threshold temperature and start date are configurable).
Humidity
<#hum> The outside humidity
<#inhum> The inside humidity
<#dew> The current dew point (See wiki)
<#wetbulb> Estimated wet bulb temperature
Rainfall
<#rfall> The total rainfall so far today (reports rain counter now minus rain counter at start of day), start of day counter can be edited using "edit rain today".
<#rrate> The current rainfall rate

Extra Sensors

The extra sensors functionality in Cumulus only supports processing for current spot values as read from the sensors. Periodically spot extra sensor values are logged, see the Extra Sensor Files page for information about log files from where you can extract the past spot values. The logging can be compared to the Standard Logfiles.

Extra Sensors: Davis models and Oregon Scientific WMR928, WR100/200

These web tags hold current values for additional sensors supported by CumulusMX.

Extra Sensors: Ecowitt

Ecowitt stations are sold under other names depending on nation, e.g. Ambient in USA, Froggit in central Europe, so Ecowitt is used as a generic name in this Wiki. See also WXForum.net.

WH45 CO₂ sensor

Available from release 3.9.5. From 3.27.0 the webtags as below are valid. The previous webtags with the minus sign i.s.o. underscores are deprecated.

Webtag name Function
<#CO2> The actual CO2 concentration in ppm
<#CO2_24h> The CO2 concentration in ppm as a moving average over 24 hours
<#CO2_pm2p5> Air Quality expressed in terms of particulate matter of 2.5 μm/m3 or less

<#CO2_temp>See note Temperature as reported by Air Quality monitor.
<#CO2_hum> Relative Humidity as reported by Air Quality monitor

Note: This temperature reflects the temperature of the sensor and would be used in combination with the sensors measured humidity (see next) for correction of the measured PM (particulate matter) value. This correction is responsibility of the user and is subject to a lot of discussion. Determination of how to correct the PM value is highly dependent on the conditions and placement of the sensor. See the specification sheet for the sensor or create some multivariate regression line based on calibration measurements. This is also valid for PM sensors like the AirLink. The normal amateur usage of PM sensors is that the uncorrected values are published.

WN34 soil and water sensor

Cumulus MX can support the Ecowitt WN34 (other model types exist and are reported here as if WN34) soil and water temperature sensors. They are reported as "User Temperature 1" to "User Temperature 8".

Webtag name Function
<#UserTemp1 - 8> The temperature of the sensor

Divers Extra Sensors

Below are described the tags resulting from Ecowitt Air quality (WH41,WH43,WH45), Ecowitt leak sensor (WH55), lighting detector (WH57), and extra temperature sensors (WN34)

This sub-section applies only to those using Ecowitt GW1000 and possibly other devices (also Froggit DS1500, and other equivalents, see Supported Devices) an interface unit that picks up various external sensors and sends the data via an application programming interface to CumulusMX which then generates the following web tags:

Webtag name Function
<#GW1000FirmwareVersion> GW1000 firmware version string
<#EcowittFirmwareVersion> Ecowitt firmware version string
<#EcowittReception> Reception signal strength for the Ecowitt devices in use
<#EcowittCameraUrl> The URL for the HTTPS GET command to get the camera picture and timelapse


Webtag name The related description can be changed in 'strings.ini', but below are default descriptions that will be shown in the viewer/editor
<#AirQuality1 - 4> Air quality in μm/m3
<#AirQualityAvg1 - 4> 24 hr moving average Air quality in μm/m3
<#LeakSensor1 - 4>
<#LightningDistance> Distance to last strike

Same units as wind run - miles/km/nm. Returns 0.0 if you don't have a sensor, GW1000 api returns max value you can put in a byte - 0xFF which translates to 158.4 miles = 255 km if have sensor but no strike detected yet, so CMX translates that to '----'.

<#LightningTime> Date and Time of last strike.

Default without output parameters is locale's short time format e.g. 18:02 or 6:02 pm, without date, but tag accepts both date and time output parameters. Returns '----' if you don't have sensor or there has not been a strike since the sensor was installed.

<#LightningStrikesToday> Number of lighting strikes today
<#UserTemp1 - 8> User Temperature 1 - 8

The WH32 produces Temperature, Humidity and Dewpoint tags as the Davis above, WH51 soilmoisture produces similar tags.

Today

Cumulus allows some control over the time that "Today" begins:

  1. You can define the log rollovertime. Choose between 9am or midnight.
  2. For the weather diary feature SnowDepthHour The default SnowDepthHour is 0

Readings from your weather station are assigned to the "Today" based on 3 options for Meteorological day

  1. starting at 9:00 am, based on winter time, so switching to 10:00 during Daylight Saving (summer) time, or
  2. starting at 9:00 am, all year round, or
  3. aligned with calendar days, so today starts at midnight

The independence of the start time for weather diary and weather station related web tags means needs to be remembered when labelling web tags from the two tables below. It was assumed that you would use 9 a.m. as start time for both, but not care when snow fell, as it often has in the UK, after Summer Time has begun, so weather station tags were by default reporting from 10 a.m. local time and snow as at 9 a.m.

In MX, if you choose 9 a.m. (optionally 10 a.m. in summer) for rollover, so all the standard derivative are assigned to the date the meteorological day starts as Today, but the sunshine hours recorded against today will be from midnight on the said date.

Weather Diary

This first table lists all the web tags available for reporting what is recorded in the weather diary. Just to be clear, the web tags shown below, will report data for previous day if the current time is before the snow depth hour setting, and report data for the current day if the current time matches the snow depth hour or is later.

Webtag name Function
<#snowdepth> Meteorologists report snow depth in cm, so this is default unit for Cumulus.

If there is no entry in Weather Diary for the day explained above, reports zero.

Input is to 2 decimal places. MX allows output in centimetres with decimal places without any script. You can't change the units shown in admin interface, but your value can be input as inches to 2 decimal places if you ignore "cm" that is displayed in that interface.

<#snowlying> If there is no entry in Weather Diary for the day explained above, this web tag returns null. Otherwise reports 1 if tick in diary, 0 is unticked.
<#snowfalling> If there is no entry in Weather Diary for the day explained above, this web tag returns null. Otherwise reports 1 if tick in diary, 0 is unticked.

Today.ini

These tag names relate to the current Meteorological day and they are populated from information held in today.ini; Where a tag name reports a value specific to a past time in today-so-far, there will also be a tag name that can give the time of day, shown in same row of table below. For those that cover whole day so far, the final column contains "n/a".

There is some inconsistency in naming with "T" not included in all tag names, "T" is used in conjunction with "H" or "L" as a suffix for extreme values/time-stamps, but a prefix "T" can identify today's value, or prefix "T" can signify a time-stamp.

All Time

The default formats are:

  • The default format for an extreme month is to show the month name in full i.e. format 'MMMM' followed by the year in full.
  • For an extreme day it shows the day of the month and the month name in full i.e. format "dd MMMM" (same for Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX), prefixed with the word 'on' again ending with the year.
  • For the highest/lowest within a day in the year it shows both time and date adding the word "at" before the time, and the word 'on' before the date (i.e. on the standard web page the time comes first, not as seen in admin interface).

You can change the default output on either the standard web template, or in your own file, by using the formats, please check the Parameter page.

Note that unlike the this month and this year web tags, the time and the date are both included in the default format of the standard time-stamp web tags for the 'highest minimum' and 'lowest maximum' temperatures, yet another inconsistency!

Monthly All Time Records

These tag names represent extreme record values (and corresponding time-stamps) for any particular month (1 =January, and so on, to 12 =December) in all years (HAR To place somewhere)

This table includes webtags that show the values in Monthlyalltime.ini log file.

These are a set of tags for monthly all-time highs and lows, in other words the highest and lowest values for a particular month of the year.

  1. The tag names listed here require a input modification parameter.
  2. The tag names here can optionally take any output modification parameters.
  3. To supply both optional input modification, and optional output modification parameters, separate them with spaces, e.g. <#ByMonthTempHT mon=7 format=hh:nn>. In that example, the time (not date) of highest ever temperature in July is returned after processing by Cumulus.

Date & Time

The default format depends on the locale you use to run Cumulus.

When format is fixed it is noted.

Webtag name Function
<#date> The current date.
<#metdate> The current meteorological date.
  • If you use midnight rollover, this returns same date as <#date> (above), but with a different default format.
  • If using a 9am/10am rollover:
    • After rollover time on current calendar date, this is same as <#date>, but with a different default format.
    • Between midnight and 9am/10am the <#metdate> will return the date associated with previous calendar day, but will still return current time
<#timeUTC> The current UTC date/time rather than local date/time. Example result: 18:30 on 30 December 2009. If you want the local date and time, use next tag (below).
<#time> The current time and date. Example result: 18:30 on 30 December 2009. If you simply wish the time, use next tag (below).
<#timehhmmss> The current time (without date). Example format: 18:30:27. You can use output format specifiers to change the way the time is output, but any date specifiers are ignored.
<#minute> The current time, just the minutes. Fixed format: 07 (cannot use output format modifiers)
<#hour> The current time, just the hour. Fixed format: 07 (cannot use output format modifiers)
<#day> The current day as a 2-digit number. Fixed format: 07 (cannot use output format modifiers)
<#dayname> The current day as a word. For example, Monday
<#shortdayname> The current day as a shortened word. Example format: Mon
<#month> The current month as a 2-digit number. Fixed format: 07 (cannot use output format modifiers)
<#monthname> The current month as a word. Example format: July
<#shortmonthname> The current month as a shortened word. Example format: Jul
<#year> The current year as a 4-digit number. Example format: 2009 (cannot use output format modifiers)
<#shortyear> The current year as a 2-digit number. Example format: 09 (cannot use output format modifiers)
<#rollovertime> The time that the logs rollover to the next day: 'Midnight', '9 am' or '10 am'
<#metdateyesterday> The previous meteorological date. The default format depends on the locale you use to run Cumulus
  • If you use midnight rollover, this returns same date as <#date>, but with a different default format.
  • If using a 9am/10am rollover:
    • After rollover time on current calendar date, this is same as <#yesterday> (below), but with a different default format.
    • Between midnight and 9am/10am the date output by <#metdateyesterday> will be the calendar day before that returned by <#yesterday>, but the time returned is actual local time.
<#yesterday> Yesterday's date.
<#update> The date and time of the last web site update.
<#timeJavaScript> The JavaScript Date object contains the number of milliseconds since 00:00:00.000 UTC on 1st January 1970, that date and time is known as the UNIX Epoch. In JavaScript, you can use Math.floor(new Date().getTime()/1000.0) This getTime method returns the time in milliseconds. The web tag returns an integer (currently with 13 digits) representing the number of milliseconds since the UNIX epoch when the web tag was processed. It can be used in a script where you wish to re-express other times output by Cumulus MX into UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Mac OS X uses 00:00:00.000 UTC on 1st January 2001 as the starting time and date for its millisecond count, so that is considerably lower.

Note that UTC is calculated using 9192631770 times a particular transition time for Caesium 133 as a basis for 1 second. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is calculated on the basis that 1 second is 1/86400 of the time taken for a whole (day) rotation of the Earth. UT1 (or solar time) is calculated from various space measurements. Periodically, leap seconds are added to UTC to realign it with UT1, but these leap seconds are not added to the count of milliseconds represented by this web tag.

Do be aware that some devices will use a 32 bit signed integer to represent this number, and that will stop working on 19 January 2038, the year 2038 problem for computing world.

<#timeUnix> Unix tracks the number of seconds since the UNIX epoch. So this web tag can be used when you do not want the millisecond accuracy of the previous web tag. Like previous web tag this relates to UTC, so see details for that tag to find out more.
<#LastDataReadT> The date/time data was last read from the station.
<#DaysSince30Dec1899> Day count (gives whole and fractional part) Example: 41250.6523310301
<#recordsbegandate> Date when records began.
<#DaysSinceRecordsBegan> Day count since Cumulus records started

Extreme Records

There are a set of tags for the Cumulus record states. They give a value of '1' if the record has been exceeded; otherwise '0'.

These web tags will be set from the time of the record until a timeout value is met (by default each record remains set for 24 hours).

You can change the default timeout through the parameter Station Settings=>Common Options=>Advanced Options.

Miscellaneous

All tags are available in all flavours, as far as I know, although their output might vary, and which input/output parameters they permit might vary between Cumulus 1 and MX.

Webtag name Function
<#LatestError> This tag and the next 5 are in CumulusMX containing the latest error information.
<#LatestErrorEnc> See previous tag for use in PHP scripts.
<#LatestErrorJsEnc> See previous tag for use in javascript.
<#LatestErrorDate> See previous tags
<#LatestErrorTime> See previous tags
<#ErrorLight> 1 if the 'error' light is flashing, 0 if not
<#version> The version of Cumulus in use
<#build> The build of Cumulus in use
<#NewBuildAvailable> This gets the value 0 or 1 and is checked on start-up and once a day thereafter at a random time
<#NewBuildNumber> It is checked on start-up and once a day thereafter at a random time. Displays the latest public release build number - eg. b3089
<#realtimeinterval> The real time update interval in seconds (integer)
<#interval> The web site update interval in minutes (integer)
<#rollovertime> The time that the logs rollover to the next day: will always return one of these: 'Midnight', '9 am' or '10 am'

This is the end of the meteorological day, so if during Daylight Saving Time rolover is at "10 am", then on the day DST ends it will return to "9 am" ensuring every meteorological day is exactly 24 hours long. If the time is "Midnight" (or during DST it is "9 am"), then days will be 23 or 25 hours long just on day clocks change, 24 hours otherwise.

<#update> The date and time of the last web site update.
<#LastDataReadT> The date/time data was last read from the station.
<#stationtype> The weather station model description.
<#stationtypeJsEnc> JavaScript encoded of previous web tag that is HTML encoded
<#latitude> The station latitude (as you entered during setup).

Supports an optional 'dp' parameter, if supplied, instead of the usual web-encoded text format with degrees/minutes/seconds, the result is in decimal degrees to the specified number of decimal places. E.g
<#latitude> gives "N 59& deg;&nbsp;14&#39;&nbsp;33&quot;" for N 59 14 33
<#latitude dp=5> gives "59.24250"

If the "dp" parameter is supplied, then supplying "rc=y" in addition will cause any decimal comma to be converted to a decimal point.

<#latitudeJsEnc> JavaScript encoded of previous web tag that is HTML encoded
<#longitude> The station longitude (as you entered during setup). Supports an optional 'dp' and 'rc' parameters as per the latitude tag.
<#longitudeJsEnc> JavaScript encoded of previous web tag that is HTML encoded
<#altitude> The station altitude value (web tag outputs web encoded format containing figure, '&nbsp;' and units) in either feet or metres just as you entered during setup e.g. '123&nbsp;m'
<#altitudenoenc> JavaScript encoded of previous web tag that is HTML encoded
<#location> The station location (as you entered during setup)
<#locationJsEnc> JavaScript encoded of previous web tag that is plain text
<#locationenc> HTML encoded version of previous web tag that is JavaScript encoded
<#longlocation> Longer description of the station location (as you entered during setup)
<#longlocationJsEnc> JavaScript encoded of previous web tag that is plain text
<#longlocationenc> HTML encoded version of previous web tag that is JavaScript encoded
<#forum> URL of the forum (as you entered during setup) encoded into a web page menu item by adding colons
<#forumurl> Same as previous, but just URL, without any additional colons
<#webcam> URL of the webcam (as you entered during setup) encoded into a web page menu item by adding colons. Default is blank. Can be used to link to any other web page that you host (Cumulus does not verify that it is a web cam, that is just a label, and the label can be changed on each standard web page individually)
<#webcamurl> Same as previous, but just URL, without any additional colons
<#graphperiod> The number of hours displayed by the graphs, as set using Configuration menu, Display settings screen 'Detailed Chart Period'
<#dailygraphperiod> The number of days displayed by the graphs, as set using Configuration menu, Display settings screen 'Daily Chart Period'
<#LatestNOAAMonthlyReport> Gives file name of latest auto-saved NOAA monthly report
<#LatestNOAAYearlyReport> Gives file name of latest auto-saved NOAA yearly report
<#MySqlRealtimeTime> time of last real-time table insert
<#MySqlIntervalTime> time of last interval data table insert
<#Option_useApparent> Whether user prefers to see Apparent Temperature or Feels Like Temperature
<#Option_showSolar> Whether user wants to show Solar data or does not not have a solar sensor
<#Option_showUV> Whether user wants to show Ultra Violet data or does not not have a UV sensor

Special tags

Davis

At present this table has not yet been updated for latest MX version.

All (see note for THSWindex) of the following web tags for the Davis PWS are available

The values of the reception tags are updated every 15 minutes.

Webtag name Function
<#DavisTotalPacketsReceived> Total number of data packets received. This stat is not supplied by the Davis WLL station.
<#DavisTotalPacketsMissed> Number of missed data packets. Optionally add "tx=n" parameter, where n=1-8 and equals the desired transmitter id. The default is n=0 and will return the VP2 stats.
<#DavisMaxInARow> Longest streak of consecutive packets received. Optionally add "tx=n" parameter, where n=1-8 and equals the desired transmitter id. The default is n=0 and will return the VP2 stats.
<#DavisNumCRCerrors> Number of packets received with CRC errors. Optionally add "tx=n" parameter, where n=1-8 and equals the desired transmitter id. The default is n=0 and will return the VP2 stats.
<#DavisNumberOfResynchs> Number of times the console resynchronised with the transmitter. Optionally add "tx=n" parameter, where n=1-8 and equals the desired transmitter id. The default is n=0 and will return the VP2 stats
<#DavisFirmwareVersion> The console/WLL firmware version
<#THWindex> A derived temperature using Temperature/Humidity/Wind values

The THW Index uses humidity and temperature (like Heat Index), but includes the cooling effects of wind (like wind chill).

<#THSWindex> A heat stress indicator using Temperature/Humidity/Solar/Wind values.
  • The THSW Index uses humidity and temperature (like the Heat Index), but also includes the heating effects of sunshine, and the cooling effects of wind.
  • Therefore requires Davis station with solar sensor.

See Approx calculation.

<#battery> The console battery condition in volts. eg "4.82v"
<#txbattery>

<#txbattery channel=1>

The transmitter battery condition, by default it returns the status of all transmitters.
<#StormRain> The console 'storm rain' current amount.
<#StormRainStart> The console reported date of the start of the 'storm' (see previous webtag).
<#StationFreeMemory> Shows the station free memory for Davis WLC, Ecowitt GW1100/20000 (using HTTP also using Ecowitt API)
<#StationRuntime> Shows the station uptime in seconds for Davis WLL/WLC, Ecowitt GW1100/20000 (using HTTP)

Note: that the console does not report start time, so the webtag cannot report time. It appears a minimum of 2 tips within 3 hours will trigger a storm start, so using <#LastRainTip> might help

Davis WLL

You need a purchased license to use these webtags.

Webtag name Function
<#ConsoleSupplyV> The WLL external supply voltage
<#DavisReceptionPercent tx=1> WLL transmitter reception percentage (replace 1 by any other transmitter number up to 8)
<#DavisTxRssi tx=0> WLL RSSI of the WiFi connection
<#DavisTxRssi tx=1> WLL RSSI of Transmitter #1 (replace 1 by any other transmitter number up to 8)
<#MulticastBadCnt> Count of multicast packets missed or have bad a CRC
<#MulticastGoodCnt> Count of good multicast packets received
<#MulticastGoodPct> Percentage of good multicast packets received

Note: See also the Davis table for <#StationFreeMemory> and <#StationRuntime>

Ecowitt && Fine Offset

The following tags are specific to the Fine Offset series

Webtag name Function
<#Light> Current Lux value "Fine Offset only"
<#SensorContactLost> 1 if the station has lost contact with its remote sensors "Fine Offset only"

0 if contact has been established

<#ExtraStationFreeMemory> to avoid clashes with the main station and a Ecowitt HTTP station used for extra sensors

Note: See also the Davis table for <#StationFreeMemory> and <#StationRuntime>
