(Added question about running automatically at start up)
For Fine Offset stations, the ‘latest’ value in Cumulus corresponds to the ‘gust’ value on the station. The ‘gust’ value in Cumulus is the highest of the ‘latest’ figures in the last 10 minutes. The ‘average’ value in Cumulus is either the ’speed’ from the station (a 48-second average, apparently) or, if you have Cumulus set to calculate a 10-minute average, it’s the average over the last 10 minutes of the ‘latest’ values.
 
==How do I make Cumulus run automatically when Windows starts?==
 
There is no option in Cumulus to set this up autotmatically as I prefer to leave it under the control of the user: The safest and most reliable method is simply to put a shortcut in your Startup folder.
 
=Troubleshooting=
==I can’t find my data files!==
 
You’re probably running Windows Vista or Windows 7. Look in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Cumulus. Ideally, to avoid this situation, you would install to somewhere outside the Program Files hierarchy, as recommended in the readme.txt.
 
==The Moon rise or set time is showing dashes.==
