In order to create a file in the Cabrillo format for the contest to proceed as follows:

•Consider how program was used in a contest and output data format which can produce this program. This is usually the standard ADIF generated by the majority of programs - for example MMTTY whether any linux programs are not intended to contest's.
• name of the data produced by the non - contest program and need in Cabrillo format. Usually this is field STX (Exchange send - number QSOs or another character) and SRX (exchange received - No QSO or name county for the countries from the U.S. for contest's ARRL)
• If the data is put to the standard fields ADI standard is half the problem is resolved.  HAM_SECRETARY program was developed based on standard ADIF 2.2.  If the program put these data for their own custom  field --  the names of those we  stick to the file  Non_standardADIF_addition_field_for_cabrillo.txt. At the moment, this set looks as follows:

 

{This file contain non standard ADIF fields used by same logger's programs in a exported}

{file type .adi or .csv }

{This is needed to make FORM for translate to cabrillo .cbr format for contest}

{If you put name of this fields there it will be visible in a menu}

{CONFIGURATION FORM FOR CABRILLO FORMAT}

{and then you  can make translate to cabrillo format as it is present}

{in a standard ADIF}

APP_N1MM_EXCHANGE1

APP_N1MM_MISCTEXT .

Added two names that are customized and produced by the program N1MM logger.This program put them into the  data STX and SRX, and therefore it was necessary to add them as custom.

If you add these custom name here it will be shown above each of the 12  fields for the form type. FRM for the contest as shown below in Figure

In the above image is enhanced the field APP_N1MM_EXCHANGE1
