====Introduced for problems with Fine Offset family, but may be more widely applicable:====
*These parameters apply to Fine Offset stations and their clones, but a few may be more widely applicable
*Note that spike removal correction may be implemented for La Crosse stations using the EW filter settings below.
*Some parameters are set on screens, other attributes do not appear in the file unless they are added using an external editor, but the values still have a recommended default value as explained below.
*As Cumulus does not check station type before applying any of these settings, ensure for Davis stations (these do not have spike problems) the spike removal filters are set to the defaults shown below.
*Note thatHowever, spike removal correction may be implemented for La Crosse stations using the EW filter settings below.
*Stations not recognised by Cumulus ''may'' be set to create an [[EasyWeather_Format#Usage_of_easyweather.dat_fields_for_Cumulus_input_of_latest_record: |EasyWeather_Format]] file requiring the first two parameters below.

|EWInterval=0
|EasyweatherThis loggingparameter interval in minutes asis entered in the Station Configuration Screen Settings block. Default is 0 meaning not applicable (as not reading observations from [[EasyWeather_Format#Usage_of_easyweather.dat_fields_for_Cumulus_input_of_latest_record: |Easyweather]] software output).
*0= Default, meaning not applicable
*10 (or any other integer)= Easyweather logging interval in minutes (used for reading latest observations from [[EasyWeather_Format#Usage_of_easyweather.dat_fields_for_Cumulus_input_of_latest_record: |Easyweather]] software output).

|EWFile=
|This is set in the settings frame on the Station settings screen off the configuration menu.

|LogExtraSensors=0
|-
|RestartIfUnplugged=0
|This is set in the settings frame on the Station settings screen off the configuration menu.
|Cumulus will restart if it detects that a Fine Offset station is unplugged.
*0 = Disabled, default i.e. deselected on the Station Configuration Screen
|*1 = Enabled, Cumulus will restart if it detects that a Fine Offset station is unplugged.
*1 = Enabled as selected on the Station Configuration Screen

|EWdisablecheckinit=0
|EWduplicatecheck=0
|Add this line to cumulus.ini [Station] section if application gets stuck in the download stage.
Introduced in version 1.8.5 (b.630) to deal with certain bytes being given the same value in first and second line. For example one problem is that "55 AA" repeats at the start of the second line of data. Those bytes are only supposed to appear at the start of the first line (or so I am told).
*0 = Disabled, default, Cumulus accepts all bytes from the Fine Offset station's memory.
*1 = Ignores part of memory (see
|-
|SyncFOReads=1
|Add this line to cumulus.ini [Station] section
|Specifies the Fine Offset synchronisation mode of operation.
*0 = default
*1 = Re-synchronizes each day
|-
|ReportLostSensorContact=0
|Add this line to cumulus.ini [Station] section
|Option to turn off reporting of 'lost sensor contact' for Fine Offset stations. (added Cumulus 1.9.4 b1070b.1070)
*0 = reporting off
*1 = reporting on (default)
|-
|EWpressureoffset=x.y
|Add this line to cumulus.ini [Station] section
|Got a pressure problem with a Fine Offset station when the pressure 'offset' that Cumulus reads is garbage, so Cumulus just uses zero? Tell Cumulus what offset to use, by using an external text editor to insert this parameter where x.y is the difference between your station (absolute) and sea-level (relative) pressures, in mb/hPa.
|-
|EWminpressureMB=900
|Add this line to cumulus.ini [Station] section
|Cumulus will ignore all pressure readings from the station that are less than this value (units are always hPa/millbars)
|-
|EWmaxpressureMB=1200
|Add this line to cumulus.ini [Station] section
|Cumulus will ignore all pressure readings from the station that are greater than this value (units are always hPa/millbars)
