The field can be an epoch timestamp or some fixed format combination of day, month, year, hour, minute (and second if necessary) as long as it uniquely defines a moment in time. The format must be consistent throughout all rows in a given import. The way you tell wee_import about the format is through Python strptime() format codes. This is covered with examples under the heading raw_datetime_format <http://weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#csv_raw_datetime_format> in the wee_import section of the Utilities Guide <http://weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm>.

I would suggest you make use of the --dry-run command line option until you are happy with what you are importing. Either that or import into a test database/binding.

If so would it be possible to obtain an extract from some of the pdfs, I would prefer the raw data and am interested in the comments I believe are at the start of each file that detail the format.
