==== Hydreon specific: ====
All 6 of these parameters are set on RG11 screen within configuration menu, see its ''Help'' for more information.
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
|-
|-
|RG11port=1
|Specifies the COM port to use for [[Rain_measurement#Optical_Rain_Gauge | Hydreon RG-11 rain detection devices]]. 1 = COM1
|-
|RG11TBRmode=1
|Specifies the Hydreon RG-11 rain device mode of operation.
*0 = Rain detection mode - "It's Raining"
*1 = Tipping bucket mode
|-
|RG11tipsize=0.01
|Specifies the tipping bucket size for Hydreon RG-11 rain detection devices. The 'tip size' must be specified in the units that you have configured Cumulus to use for rain.
|-
|RG11port2=
RG11tipsize2=
|Settings to connect a second Hydreon RG-11 rain detection device
Note that you must have one RG-11 set to "It's raining" mode and the other to "tipping bucket" mode. Cumulus does not validate this.

==== Instromet station specific: ====

|-
|style="background:lightgray;"|[Station]
|style="background:lightgray;"|Section name - the following parameters relate to the station configuration.
|-
|ImetWaitTime=200
|This parameter (attribute=value) if you need to change it from its '''default of 200 ms''' is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen.
Specifies the time in milliseconds that Cumulus allows for a response from an Instromet station. If you are having problems with reading from an Instromet station, try inserting this line into the ''Station'' section using a value of 500. According to the specification, 500 ms is the absolute maximum time that the station should take to respond to any command.
|-
|SyncDavisClock=0
|Set this in the Station Configuration Screen Settings block where called '''Synchronize station clock'''. Note despite the name of the parameter within 'Cumulus.ini', this does apply to Instromet stations.
When set, at Cumulus start-up and at 04:00 each day, Cumulus will set the Davis VP/VP2 clock to within a minute of the same time as the PC
*0 = Disabled, default as deselected on the Station Configuration Screen
*1 = Enabled, ensures that when Cumulus asks the station for data since time X, both recognise X!
|-
|LogExtraSensors=0
|This is set in the settings frame on the Station settings screen off the configuration menu by the '''Extra Sensors''' selection.
*0=Disabled (default)
*1= Enabled - Used for optional Sunshine hours or extra temperature sensors on Instromet stations.
(Note this attribute appears in [[#Davis_family_specific|Davis family]], [[#Oregon_Scientific_specific:|Oregon Scientific specific]] and [[#Introduced_for_problems_with_Fine_Offset_family:|Fine Offset family]] tables above with different usage explanations).
