== Configuration: Settings == Configuration settings information for your particular Cumulus version/build is in the Cumulus Help. Most of these settings are fully explained in the help for each screen in the configuration menu. But there are two panels on the 'Station' screen that frequently lead to questions in the support forum - location and units - explined further below. Some advanced settings can not be set using screens in Configuration menu. The information in [[cumulus.ini]] describes all ~~initial~~ configuration settings for the latest Cumulus release, whether set via screens or directly in that file. (~~and~~It may mention some additions established in beta builds, other than any experimentations just being trialled in a special or beta build). There are [[:Category:Cumulus Files\|other configuration files]] for more sophisticated options such as how Cumulus communicates with external reporting systems. You may find the [[Cumulus_Screenshots]] help you, although note the screens may relate to a different software version/build to that you are using. === ~~Units~~Location ~~of measure~~panel === Pay attention to the box labels, enter ''unsigned integers'' for degrees, minutes and seconds, then add either N or S for Latitude and either E or W for longitude. === Units of measure panel === By far '''the biggest decision you will make''', and be held to, is the various units of measure. ''Select these very carefully when you are setting up.''
