The entries shown include the default value from the configuration screen where applicable, a typical example value where appropriate, or just the attribute and an equals sign where there is no typical value.

==== Davis family specific: ====
'''UseDavisLoop2=1''' Cumulus MX will use the LOOP2 packet for Davis Weather Stations by default.▼
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
The current MX code uses this for two purposes. First, it uses the 'peak 10-minute gust' value, to avoid the problem where a gust might be missed, and secondly it uses the 'absolute pressure' value to make calculation of 'altimeter pressure' easier and more accurate. This is mainly used if you upload to CWOP.▼

|style="background:lightgray;"|Section name - the following parameters relate to the station configuration.

|This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen.
▲The current MX code uses
▲
The LOOP2 packet is supported on the VP2 with firmware version 1.90 or later, and on the Vue.
*0 = Select this if you have a Vantage Pro (i.e. the original 'VP1'), or a VP2 with pre-1.90 firmware, or if you are using Virtual VP, none of these support the LOOP2 packet.
▲'''UseDavisLoop2=0'''
With this setting, Cumulus will revert to calculating the 10-minute gust value itself from the individual wind speed readings, but it will not currently attempt to calculate altimeter pressure correctly, it will simply use the sea-level pressure instead. This is likely to be an issue if you are at high altitude and you upload to CWOP using Cumulus MX.

|DataLogging=0
|This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen.
*0 (default) = Cumulus MX will not add extra logging.
*1 = To add extra logging to the diags file for data received from Davis stations. Use this with care, the log will get very large. (Build 3018 onwards).
I've also added some more diagnostics to try to find the cause of the problem where data stops being read from Davis stations. Debug logging is required to be turned on. (Build 3022 onwards).
