| Average Bearing
| 10 (minutes)
| This parameter's value is the number of minutes over which Cumulus calculates (by treating the wind as a vector and taking into account the speed as well as direction) its average bearing
| 10 (minutes)
| This parameter's value is the number of minutes over which Cumulus averages out reported current wind speeds

| CalculatedDP=0
| Legacy Cumulus
| Common Options
| Calculate dew point
| Unticked (shown as 0 in Cumulus.ini)
| Simple tick or not:
* Tick (value shown as 1 in Cumulus.ini) then Cumulus will calculate dew point from temperature and humidity supplied by station
* Don't tick (value shown as 0 in Cumulus.ini) action depends on '''Calibration settings'''
** If Cumulus has non-default multiplier and/or offset settings for temperature or humidity, Cumulus will calculate dew-point
** If station provides dew point, then that will be used provided no multiplier/offsets have been specified for temperature or humidity

| CalculatedWC=1
| Legacy Cumulus
| Common Options
| Calculate wind chill
| Unticked (shown as 0 in Cumulus.ini)
| Simple tick or not:
* Tick (value shown as 1 in Cumulus.ini) then Cumulus will calculate wind chill from temperature and wind speed
** Note that there is a maximum temperature, and minimum wind speed, for Cumulus to make the calculation, see [[Wind_chill]] page
* Don't tick (value shown as 0 in Cumulus.ini) action depends on '''Calibration settings'''
** If Cumulus has non-default multiplier and/or offset settings for temperature or wind speed, Cumulus will calculate wind chill
** If station provides wind chill, then that will be used provided no multiplier/offsets have been specified for temperature or wind speed

| 0 (default in MX is metres)
| Select units used for reporting theoretical cloud base:
*
* 1 = feet (default if file created by legacy software)

Simple tick or not:
* Tick (value shown as 1 in Cumulus.ini) then if weather station reading is 98%, process that as 100% for all outputs from MX
* Don't tick (value shown as 0 in Cumulus.ini) to always report what weather

| PeakGustMinutes=10
| n/a
| (TO BE DETERMINED)
| For derivatives like count of
(If rainfall is measured in tips, usually set to just over one tip, as first tip of day might be result of less that one tip accumulated on earlier days or because of dew)
| 0 (disabled)
| Simple tick or not:
* Tick (value shown as 1 in Cumulus.ini) then Cumulus will generate a simple weather Zambretti forecast, if your station does not supply a forecast, or as an alternative to the one supplied by your station. Please see [[Forecast_webtag
* Don't tick (value shown as 0 in Cumulus.ini) then MX will not do any forecasting, so it will return "not available" unless your weather
