→Read-only parameters in the Station section (releases 3.0.0 to 3.6.12)

<big>'''This sub-section relates to MX releases until 3.6.12 only.'''</big>
'''The first table below covers some of the parameters that at release 3.6.0 could not be edited using the settings web pages in the admin interface.'''

|StartDate=13/08/2009
|This parameter is different to all the others. In earlier releases of MX, this was not read-write as you cannot edit it. Unlike other read-only parameters it is automatically inserted into Cumulus.ini and given a value when Cumulus is first run. By default this will be set to the date of initial installation of the Cumulus application (whichever flavour). In the later releases of MX, you can edit it within the admin interface!
|-
|UseDataLogger=1
|Some releases of Cumulus MX: This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file in the [Station] section if you want to change the default, it does not appear on the settings screen.
*0 = Disabled, at start-up, Cumulus will not download data from the station's data logger (if it has one) but just start with next observations.
*1 = Enabled (Default), at start-up Cumulus will download data from the station's data logger (if it has one) to catch up from the point where Cumulus was last shut down. See last parameter for advice re station logging interval.

The second table below contains those read-write parameters that existed for Cumulus 1 and I believe are understood by MX, plus some read-only parameters mentioned in MX release announcements up to June 2020, no monitoring of subsequent announcements was made, and the details shown below may not be accurate.
From 3.10.1 onwards, MX has these settings in its admin interface, although they may be under sections called "Advanced" and be displayed with warnings saying don't use unless you understand! (In-between releases have additional read-only parameters that nobody ever documented here (or in subsequent sub-sections).
