See individual parameters for specific instructions on setting them. In many cases this is by using Station Configuration Screen, but if the parameter line does not exist in your file, then insert it using a file editor as per instructions above. ▼

[[File:Badge vMx.png]] There is a station settings page in MX. Again, it does not cover every setting, and for some you need to stop MX and edit this file directly.

|Type= -1
|Station Type as set by the checked radio box in the [[Cumulus_Screenshots#Configuration_Menu_Screens|Station Configuration Screen]], Station Type block. For details of [[Supported_Devices]] click that link.
*-1= default value, before a selection from those below is made. In Cumulus 1, this causes the configuration screen to be shown so that you start set up. In MX a message appears in the terminal (Windows command) screen saying that station type not known (see [[#Cumulus_MX|#Cumulus_MX section]] above.
*0=Vantage Pro station
*1=Vantage Pro2 station
*4=Reading from file [[EasyWeather_Format#Usage_of_easyweather.dat_fields_for_Cumulus_input_of_latest_record: |EasyWeather.dat]] (using EasyWeather software version 6.2, or earlier, running continuously with Cumulus). Fine Offset weather stations that record Solar and UV measurements output to [[EasyWeather_Format#EasyWeatherPlus.dat| EasyWeatherPlus.dat file]] when Easyweather software version 6.x is running. This has the same fields as easyweather.dat, plus two extra fields for Solar and UV data at the end, and so Cumulus can understand the fields you must also have '''LogExtraSensors=1''' set.
'''NOTE:''' You can also use ''Type=4'' if you want to run Cumulus with reduced functionality without a weather station attached, to view historical observations. A full set of (historic) files in the ''data'' subfolder copied from a system with a weather station attached is needed, but in this case, the [[#Introduced for problems with Fine Offset family:| EWFile= ]] attribute should be at its default of not having any filename value.
*5=Fine Offset
*6=WS2300 (For all La Crosse WS23xx models)
*7=Fine Offset/Watson/MyDel etc with Solar Sensors as defined in [[Supported_Devices#Fine_Offset_with_UV/Light sensor|Fine Offset with UV/Light sensor in Supported_Devices article]].
*8=[[WMR100-200_Protocol|WMR100]]
*9=[[WMR100-200_Protocol|WMR200]]
*10=Instromet (with optional extra solar sensors or without)

|SpecialLog=1
|This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen. If the parameter is not included in the file or the parameter is 'SpecialLog=0', the [[Speciallog.txt|special log file]] is not updated. {{Version badge 1}}If you do include this parameter then the inside and outside temperature, humidity and dew point are logged at the same interval as values are logged to [[Monthly log files|Standard log files]]

|PeakGustMinutes=N
|This parameter (attribute=value) determines if when you next start Cumulus it will send enhanced information to the [[debug]] file. Set it to 1 to enable this.
Debugging can also be switched on while you are running Cumulus of any flavour. By default, enhanced debugging will stop when you exit Cumulus and the value will be reset to 0.

|SpecialLog=1▼
|This optional parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen. If the parameter is not included in the file, the default of no special log is assumed. Add this entry to start updating a file called 'speciallog.txt' in the data folder with the following fields:▼
