Cumulus.ini (preserving history)

The cumulus.ini configuration file is a text file containing initialization parameters used by the Cumulus application, and is read only when Cumulus starts up. It is located in the directory in which you installed Cumulus and is updated whenever you change any configuration parameters from the application configuration pages. Cumulus also re-writes the file when it shuts down, so if you want to edit the file yourself, make sure Cumulus is stopped. Note that some configuration settings can only be applied by editing this file; they do not appear anywhere in the configuration screens. Cumulus does not write these values back out to the file, so they do not appear with default values - in other words, you need to add them if you want to set them. Note also that if your system is configured to use a comma for a decimal separator, then you should use a comma in any decimal values that you set in this file.

LatTxt=	Latitude in text string format of hemisphere degrees, minutes and seconds. HTML ampersand codes are used for spaces and DMS characters.
LonTxt=	Longitude in text string format of hemisphere degrees, minutes and seconds. HTML ampersand codes are used for spaces and DMS characters.
Altitude=0	your station altitude as entered in the Station Configuration Screen Location block. See Cumulus Help for that screen.
AltitudeInFeet=1	Altitude measurement unit as set in the Station Configuration Screen Location block. 0 = meters ASL 1 = feet ASL
Humidity98Fix=0	Selected in the Station Configuration Screen Settings block. 0 = Disabled (default) 1 = Enabled, humidity displayed and recorded as 100% if your sensor registers a relative humidity of 98% or greater. Normally only useful for Oregon Scientific stations.
Wind10MinAverage=0	Selected in the Station Configuration Screen Settings block. 0 = Disabled (default) 1 = Enabled, Cumulus will calculate and display a 10-minute average wind speed instead of using the value supplied by the station.
CalculatedDP=0	Selected in the Station Configuration Screen Settings block. 0 = Disabled 1 = Enabled, Cumulus will calculate the dew point instead of using the value supplied by the station. This avoids the restriction in the Oregon Scientific stations where the dew point can never be below freezing point.
CalculatedWC=0	Selected in the Station Configuration Screen Settings block. 0 = Disabled 1 = Enabled, Cumulus will calculate the wind chill instead of using the value supplied by the station. Note that some stations (Fine Offset, for example, do not supply a wind chill value anyway, so Cumulus always calculates it). You should set this if you have specified any calibration values for wind or temperature, so that Cumulus can also apply those values to the wind chill.
UseWindChillCutOff=1	Calculate Wind chill only if temperature less than 10°C rule. 0 = Disabled (default) 1 = Enabled, this line needs to be added in the [Station] section of the Cumulus.ini Note that you need to set Cumulus to calculate the wind chill (if your station is a type that supplies one itself) for this setting to have any effect.
ChillHourSeasonStart=10	The season start figure is the calendar month number (1 to 12)
ChillHourThreshold=45	The temperature threshold is specified in the units that you use in Cumulus (see Heat/cold_degree_days_and_Chill_hours)

SnowDepthHour=9	Snow lying/falling roll over time (time when yesterday's values in log.xml are forgotten) 0 = midnight 9 = 9am
ConfirmClose=0	Confirm you wish to close Cumulus application after telling it to close 0 = Disabled, application will close immediately 1 = Enabled, application will prompt for confirmation that you wish to close it
CloseOnSuspend=1	If this is selected, Cumulus will close if you suspend/standby/hibernate your computer. You should not select 'Confirm shutdown' if you use this option. 0 = Disabled, application will not close if you suspend/standby/hibernate your computer 1 = Enabled, application will close on suspend/standby/hibernate of your computer
RestartIfUnplugged=0	Cumulus will restart if it detects that a Fine Offset station is unplugged. 0 = Disabled 1 = Enabled
SyncDavisClock=0	When set, at start-up, Cumulus will set the Davis VP/VP2 clock to the same time as the PC 0 = Disabled 1 = Enabled

YTDrain=0	Year to date correction if starting part way through year as entered in the Station Configuration Screen. Default is 0.
YTDrainyear=0	The year for which the YTDrain is to be applied. Default is 0
EWInterval=0	Easyweather interval in minutes as entered in the Station Configuration Screen Settings block.
EWFile=	Easyweather.dat file path/name as entered in the Station Configuration Screen Settings block.
UseDataLogger=1	If selected, at start-up, Cumulus will download data from the stations data logger (if it has one) to catch up from the point where Cumulus was last shut down. 0 = Disabled 1 = Enabled (Default)
UseCumulusForecast=0	From the Station Configuration Screen Forecast block, if selected Cumulus will generate a simple weather forecast, if your station does not supply one, or as an alternative to the one supplied by your station. See the Forecast webtag for more information. 0 = Disabled (default) 1 = Enabled
UseCumulusPresstrendstr=0	Set in the Station Configuration Screen Settings block. If selected Cumulus will generate the name for the current pressure trend, e.g. "Falling", "Rising quickly" etc, instead of the one supplied by your station. The names used are those in the UK Shipping Forecast. Note that some stations do not supply this anyway, so setting this has no effect (Cumulus always generates the names for those stations). 0 = Disabled 1 = Enabled
FCpressinMB=1	Forecast pressure unit as selected in Station Configuration Forecast block 0 = inches 1 = mb
FClowpress=950	Low Pressure extreme limit as entered in the Station Configuration Forecast block. Default is 950mb
FChighpress=1050	High Pressure extreme limit as entered in the Station Configuration Forecast block. Default is 1050mb
ForceVPBarUpdate=0	Set this in the Station Configuration Screen Settings block. Select to force the Vantage Pro (and Pro2) barometer to update once a minute instead of the default 15 minutes. Note that you may not need this, more recent stations already update every minute 0 = Disabled 1 = Enabled
UseZeroBearing=0	Set this in the Station Configuration Screen Settings block. 0 = Disabled, Cumulus displays the current bearing read from the station (i.e. the last direction the wind was blowing from before it became calm). Note that the average wind bearing will always display zero bearing if there has been no wind for the last 10 minutes, as the average bearing takes wind speed into account. 1 = Enabled, Cumulus display a bearing of zero (and '---' for the compass point) when the wind is calm
VP2ConnectionType=0	Weather station connection type as selected in the Station Configuration Screen VP type block 0 = serial 1 = usb 2 = TCP/IP
VP2TCPPort=22222	Comunications port used if VP type has TCP/IP selected. Default is 2222
VP2IPAddr=0.0.0.0	Weather station IP address if VP type has TCP/IP selected. Default is 0.0.0.0

CloudBaseInFeet=1	Cloud base measurement unit 0 = meters 1 = feet (default)
EWTempdiff=x.y	Enter this line in the [Station] section of the Cumulus.ini to filter erroneous temperature readings from your sensor. Replace x.y with the maximum difference in degrees C you are prepared to accept between successive data readings
WMR928TempChannel=N	For WMR928 stations (and other stations using the same protocol, eg WMR968) to use an 'extra' channel as your main temperature sensor, set N to the required channel
RTdisconnectcount=60	Option periodically disconnect the realtime FTP connection, the theory being that it will not get stuck if the servier dies, and wil keep trying to reconnect. Enter this line in the [Station] section of the Cumulus.ini The '60' is an example; it represents the number of realtime ftp uploads between disconnections - so 60 would give an hour if 1 minute realtime interval selected.
EWpressureoffset=x.y	Got a pressure problem with a Fine Offset station? This can occur on startup when the pressure 'offset' that Cumulus reads is garbage, so Cumulus just uses zero (so effectively you end up with your absolute pressure being recorded instead of relative pressure). There's a work around for this by telling Cumulus what offset to use, rather than reading it from the station. You specify it in cumulus.ini by adding a line to the [Station] section: where x.y is the difference between your station (absolute) and sea-level (relative) pressures, in mb/hPA.
Logging=1	Add to cumulus.ini [Station] section to have Cumulus start with debug logging on
VP2SleepInterval=x	where x is sleepinterval in milliseconds This is the period which Cumulus waits between reads of the data from Davis stations. The default is 500 ms; if you suspect that data is being missed, you could try reducing this figure. For VirtualVP users, tests revealed that VP2SleepInterval = 1100 seems to work the best. It updates every two seconds with few exceptions.
WS2300Sync=1	This makes Cumulus check the time that the station is going to communicate with the sensors, and synchronises all of its reads to be 2.5 seconds after that. Experiments have shown that this does not help the bad data situation.
VPClosedownTime=x	where x is the number of seconds after the start of the re-connect attempts that you want the program to close itself.
EWduplicatecheck=0	Add this line to cumulus.ini [Station] section if application gets stuck in the download stage.
LCMaxWind=X	To use the cumulus.ini setting for the La Crosse max wind speed add to the [station] section, where X is the maximum (uncalibrated) wind speed in m/s that you want to allow. (V1.8.8 Build 874 on)
AvgSpeedMinutes=N	where N is the number of minutes over which Cumulus calculates its average speed, if you have Cumulus set to do this. Default = 10. If you selected 60, then Cumulus would calculate rolling 60-minute average wind speeds.
AvgBearingMinutes=N	where N 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. Default = 10.
ListWebTags=1	Add this entry to make Cumulus create a file called webtags.txt that contains an unsorted list of all the webtags that Cumulus supports
EWmaxHourlyRain=999	An hourly rain rate 'spike' filter, changes in value greater than the value specified here will be ignored by Cumulus
EWmaxRainRate=999	A rain rate 'spike' filter, changes in value greater than the value specified here will be ignored by Cumulus
EWpressurediff=999	A pressure change 'spike' filter, changes in value greater than the value specified here will be ignored by Cumulus
EWhumiditydiff=999	A humidity change 'spike' filter, changes in value greater than the value specified here will be ignored by Cumulus
EWgustdiff=999	A wind gust 'spike' filter, changes in value greater than the value specified here will be ignored by Cumulus
EWwinddiff=999	A wind speed 'spike' filter, changes in value greater than the value specified here will be ignored by Cumulus
RestartIfDataStops=0	Option to restart Cumulus if data stops. This may fix whatever the problem is; it may not. But it should at least stop the same data being repeatedly logged. 0 = Disabled (default) 1 = Enabled
WS2300IgnoreStationClock=0	Option to ignore the La Crosse station clock on logger download. 0 = Disabled (default) 1 = Enabled
ReportDataStoppedErrors=0	Option to turn off reporting of 'data stopped' errors to the Cumulus error log (may be needed with La Crosse stations) 0 = Disabled (default) 1 = Enabled
RainSeasonStart=1	The month of the year that is used as the start of the annual 'rain season'. Default = 1 = January.
RainDayThreshold=-1	The threshold value which the daily rainfall has to equal or exceed for the day to be considered a 'rain day'. Default -1 = 0.2mm or 0.01in. Value is entered in your current rain units.
NoFlashWetDryDayRecords=1	When set to 1 stops new Longest Wet/Dry Period records being 'flashed'
UseSpeedForAvgCalc=0	When enabled (=1) Cumulus will use the longer-term 'speed' values in the average speed calculation. The 'Use 10-min average wind speed' option must be selected for this option to have any effect.
HourlyForecast=0	If Cumulus is set to generate a forecast, this setting (=1) causes the forecast to be updated only once an hour (on the hour).
RoundWindSpeed=0	When set to 1, this setting causes wind speeds rounded to the nearest integer.
VP2PeriodicDisconnectInterval=0	Causes Cumulus to disconnect for the specified number of seconds, once a minute, on the minute (or as close as possible) to allow the Weatherlink IP to connect to the Davis Weatherlink site. Set it to zero to disable, if you are not using the Weatherlink site.
EWminpressureMB=900	Cumulus will ignore all pressure readings from the station that are less than this value (units are always hPa/millbars)
EWmaxpressureMB=1200	Cumulus will ignore all pressure readings from the station that are greater than this value (units are always hPa/millbars)
ErrorLogSpikeRemoval=0	??keeps the number of messages in the error log window to a maximum of 256?
LogExtraSensors=0	Set this to 1 if you have additional sensors (e.g. a Davis Leaf Wetness probe) to make Cumulus read, display, and log the readings from the sensors. You don't need to select this for Solar/UV sensors.
DavisCalcAltPress=1	Davis stations calculate Sea Level Pressure from Station Pressure using a formula based on several parameters such as temperature, humidity, etc, rather than just using altitude as most other stations. CWOP require 'Altimeter Pressure' to be uploaded, i.e. a value calculated simply using altitude. The station does not provide this value directly, nor the station pressure, so Cumulus has to read some extra data once a minute in order to do the calculation. This can take several seconds, so it means that a 'normal' data reading may be missed. If you don't use CWOP, or you are happy for Cumulus to send Sea-Level pressure to CWOP (the difference is small unless you are at high altitude), set this value to 0. Cumulus will then use the Sea-Level Pressure value instead of the Cumulus calculated Altimeter Pressure. 0 = Disabled 1 = Enabled (default)
UVdecimals=1	UV values are now displayed and logged as whole numbers by default. You can change this by adding this entry specifying the number of decimal places. 0 = Integer Values (default) n = Number of decimal places
NoSensorCheck=1	The option (for 'incomplete' stations) to disable the sensor check described in this FAQ 0 = Sensor check enabled (default) 1 = Sensor check disabled
RG11port=1	Specifies the COM port to use for Hydreon RG-11 rain detection devices. 1 = COM1
RG11TBRmode=1	Specifies the Hydreon RG-11 rain device mode of operation. 0 = Rain detection mode - "It's Raining" 1 = Tipping bucket mode
RG11tipsize=0.01	Specifies the tipping bucket size for Hydreon RG-11 rain detection devices. The 'tip size' must be specified in the units that you have configured Cumulus to use for rain.
RG11port2= RG11TBRmode2= RG11tipsize2=	Settings to connect a second Hydreon RG-11 rain detection device. Note that you must have one RG-11 set to "It's raining" mode and the other to "tipping bucket" mode. Cumulus does not validate this.
SyncFOReads=1	Specifies the Fine Offset synchronisation mode of operation. 0 = default 1 = Re-synchronizes each day
ReportLostSensorContact=0	Option to turn off reporting of 'lost sensor contact' for Fine Offset stations. (added Cumulus 1.9.4 b1070) 0 = reporting off 1 = reporting on (default)

Section: Solar

INI Line Entry	Function
[Solar]	Section Name - the following parameters are set from the Solar Setup dialog in Cumulus
SunThreshold=75	If you have a solar sensor: Cumulus tries to determine whether the sun is shining by determining whether the current solar radiation value is above a certain percentage of the current theoretical maximum. The value you supply here is used as that percentage. The default value is 75%.
RStransfactor=0.8	Cumulus uses the Ryan-Stolzenbach formula to determine the current theoretical maximum solar radiation at your location at the current moment in time. This formula has a factor to allow for the transmission of the radiation through the atmosphere; the default is 0.8.
SolarMinimum=0	This setting allows you to specify a minimum solar radiation value which needs to be reached before it can be considered to be sunny. Note that this setting does not replace the calculation using the current theoretical maximum, it specifies an additional condition which has to be met. This setting therefore allows you to cater for the periods at the beginning and end of the day when the theoretical maximum is very low.
LuxToWM2=0.0079	For Fine Offset stations. These supply 'Lux' values rather than 'W/m2' values that Davis stations supply. Cumulus attempts to convert from Lux to W/m2 using the supplied multiplication factor.
UseBlakeLarsen=0	Set this to 1 if you have a Blake-Larsen Sun Recorder, and you want Cumulus to get today's sunshine hours from it. You need to configure the Blake-Larsen software to put the SRsunshine.dat file into the Cumulus data folder so that Cumulus can read it.
