'''Choosing the uploading interval''' | |||
# If you want your file processed and uploaded at the real-time interval you put a tick in the real-time column. You would choose this for all tags representing current conditions or related to today and so likely to keep updating during the day. | |||

#If you want your file processed and uploaded at the start of a new meteorological day (when the end of previous day has been completed) you put a tick in the '''End of Day''' column. Remember, at this stage Cumulus will have the new date in every date type tag, it will have initialised the monthly tags to be empty (so don't include those tags if processing at this interval), and the yesterday tags will have been set (so those tags should be processed at this interval). | |||
#If you | #If you have not ticked the real-time column, nor ticked the EOD column, your file will be uploaded at the normal uploading interval. You will probably use this interval for tags relating to month and year that would benefit from being updated more trhan just at end of day, but don't really need to be updated as often as web tags for current conditions. | ||
