(→‎What do the various wind speeds in Cumulus correspond to, with Fine Offset stations?: - simplified, this entry had too much unnecessary information added which made it hard to follow)
La Crosse and some Oregon Scientific weather stations only output a single wind speed. To allow Cumulus to calculate 'gust' and 'wind speed' with different values, select the '''Station''' dialogue from the ''Configuration'' menu and set ''Calculate 10 min wind average'' in the 'Settings' frame, so in [[cumulus.ini]] this will produce the parameter 'Wind10MinAverage=1 when cumulus is next stopped.
* The station's 'Wind' value will then display as Cumulus 'Latest'.
* A 10 (configerableconfigurable by adding ''AvgSpeedMinutes=N'' in [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_Station]] where 'N' is number of)minutes average of the station's 'Wind' value will then display as Cumulus 'Average'.
* The highest of the station's 'Wind' value in a 10 minute period will then display as Cumulus 'Gust'.
