(Clarifying how to edit the different parameters, adding NOAAUseUTF8=0 and proxies (Someone please check), explaining parameters that nobody had explained after Shamrockspider had set them as '???' in 2009!)
The cumulus.ini [[:Category:Configuration Files| configuration file]] is located in the directory in which you installed Cumulus. It is a text file containing initialization parameters used by the Cumulus application, and is read only when Cumulus starts up. Parameters are in the form 'attribute=value' and grouped into sections. Cumulus re-writes the contents of the application configuration screens to the file when it shuts down.
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 contents of the application configuration pages to 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 to insert them; they do not appear anywhere in the configuration screens. Cumulus does not write these values back out to the file on shut down, 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.
 
== Section:Editing Stationthe file ==
Many configuration parameters are changed from the various application configuration pages, you should never edit these directly in the file while Cumulus is running, as Cumulus will replace these parameters with the contents of the relevant application Edit/View/Configuration screens to the file when it shuts down. You can edit them in the file with Cumulus stopped, it will read the new values when it restarts, but beware of selecting invalid values for these parameters, generally it is safer to use the application to edit them (unless you are importing values from another setup).
 
Note that some configuration settings can only be applied by editing this file to insert them; they do not appear anywhere in the configuration screens. Cumulus does not write these values back out to the file on shut down, so they do not appear with default values - in other words, you need to ''add'' them if you want to set them. Make sure you place these additional parameters in the correct section as listed below.
 
'''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.
 
== File Contents ==
All installations (using the current version of Cumulus) will contain all the following sections (although the order of sections is inmaterial and probably reflects when you started using Cumulus as new sections have been added at the end by various versions), some relate to the external websites that Cumulus can optionally supply with updates, if you do not use those services those parameters will be set to the defaults. Within a section, newer versions of cumulus may add additional parameters set by revised configuration screens, and permit additional parameters to be added manually.
 
If you are not using the current version, or you are using a beta build, then checking the release information may be advisable before you make changes. I also strongly advise taking a backup of Cumulus.ini at regular intervals, to ensure you have a version to return to if an edit (within cumulus or externally) causes a problem.
=== Section: Station ===
See individual parameters for specific instructions on setting them. In many cases this is by using Station Configuration Screen, but if the parameter does not exist in your file, then insert it using a file editor.
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
|-
*0 = Disabled (default)
*1 = Enabled, this line needs to be added in the [Station] section of the Cumulus.ini
Note that you''CalculatedWC=1'' needis toneeded setfor Cumulusthis setting to calculatehave theany wind chilleffect (if your station is a type that supplies onewind chill itself); fori.e. thisyou settingneed to haveset anyCumulus effect(see directly above) to calculate the wind chill if it is to apply a rule based on temperature.
|-
|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
|[[Weather_Diary|Snow lying/falling]] roll over time (time when yesterday's values in log.xml are forgotten)
Note this time is independent of your rollover time selections in the two preceding parameters.
*0 = midnight
*0 = midnight (default)
*9 = 9am
*9 = 9am, this line needs to be added in the [Station] section of the Cumulus.ini
|-
|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 (do not use this if you might suspend/standby/hibernate your computer)
|-
|CloseOnSuspend=1
|If this is selected, on the Station Configuration Screen, 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 (it is highly recommended you close Cumulus manually before your computer is put into suspend/standby/hibernate state)
*1 = Enabled, application will close on suspend/standby/hibernate of your computer (recommended if your computer can go into any of these states when left alone)
|-
|RestartIfUnplugged=0
|Cumulus will restart if it detects that a Fine Offset station is unplugged.
*0 = Disabled, default as deselected on the Station Configuration Screen
*0 = Disabled
*1 = Enabled as selected on the Station Configuration Screen

=== Section: NOAA ===
All these can be set in the NOAA Setup Screen in Configuration menu. You might select to close Cumulus, and edit the 'Norm' parameters by using a external editor to manipulate into required format, copy, and paste, the values from another source (as there are a lot of figures to type in).
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
|-
|-
|State=
|NOAA location state/county/province or the equivalent in your nation
|-
|12hourformat=0
|AutoSave=0
|If set, when Cumulus does the end of day reset, it will auto create NOAA-style reports for the month and year corresponding to the day which has just ended.
|-
|NOAAUseUTF8=0
|(Added in version 1.9.4) Specifies the 'Character set' in which NOAA reports are generated whether automatically (by Cumulus just after rollover) or manually (by selecting '''Save''' in NOAA Monthly/Annual Reports screen within Edit menu).
*0 = Usual Cumulus format (default) ?? iso-8859-1 ??
*1 = UTF8 ((UCS Transformation Format—8-bit) format - the dominant character encoding for the World-Wide Web as using one to three bytes it represents most characters in common use covering most languages.
|-
|NOAATempNorm[Jan-Dec]=
|-
|MonthFileFormat="NOAAMO"mmyy".txt"
|Defines the format of the filename used for the monthly reports, using date formatting characters (see [[Webtags#Time.2FDate_.27format.27_Parameter]]). The default uses a 2 digit number for the month, but you may prefer the full month name or an abbreviation in your language. Note that any characters which are not date formatting characters should be in double quotes.
|-
|YearFileFormat="NOAAYR"yyyy".txt"
|}
 
=== Section: Solar ===
Set mostly in solar block at foot of Station Settings screen of Configuration menu.
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
|-
|-
|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 0.880.
|-
|SolarMinimum=0
|-
|LuxToWM2=0.0079
|ForEdit cumulus.ini to add this parameter if you have a Fine Offset stationsstation with a solar detector. 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
| Called B/l on screen. 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.
|}
 
=== Section: MainForm ===
This section also appears in a shorter cumulus.ini stored in the reports sub-directory where it stores the position of your last saved NOAA form. Cumulus updates this section of the main cumulus.ini on closing, after you move the screen around on your monitor, if you have set 'Save main window position' on Display settings screen.
