The [[[[field-name]]]] sections

Under each [[[topic-name]]] any fields that need configuring are designated via a [[[[field-name]]]] section. This information maybe in a sensor-map, label-map, etc. in other drivers or services.

Some common configuration options for a field are:

contains_total

Set to true if the incoming data is cumulative value (for example, rain total) and the WeeWX field expects an increment value.. The default is false.

conversion_type

The conversion type (bool, float, or int) necessary for WeeWX compatibility. The default is float.

ignore

Set to true if the field should be ignored. The default is false.

name

The WeeWX name.

total_wrap_around

To be used in conjunction with contains_total.

Set to true if the incoming cumulative value can wrap around (yearly rain for example). The default is false.
