All data is logged in the units which which have been selected by the user on the station configuration screen. Note that 'comma-separated' does not necessarily mean that a comma is used to separate the values! If your PC uses a semicolon for the list separator, that will be used in these files.
=== Viewing current sensor values ===
[[File:Extra_panel.JPG]]You can add a panel to the main screen to display the Oregon Scientific extra channels - by selecting ''Display solar/extra data'' in the General block of the Display settings screen in the Configuration menu. A similar panel in the same place can be used to display Davis solar sensor output.
On your computer from '''View''' menu, select ''Extra data'' screen. This lists all the possible extra sensor parameters, with current values shown where they are in use.▼
▲[[File:Cumulus_View_menu.jpg]]On your computer from '''View''' menu, select ''Extra data'' screen. This lists all the possible extra sensor parameters, with current values shown where they are in use.
On your website, use the [[Webtags#Extra_Sensors|webtags listed here]] on a [[Customised_templates|template page]] that is processed by Cumulus to either display current values (this could be the indexT.htm page), or to treat as parameters for feeding graphics as on the 'gaugesT.htm' page. As at August 2013, Cumulus does not calculate extremes for extra sensors.▼
=== Adding extra sensor values to website pages ===
For Oregon Scientific extra temperature sensors, their value can replace the main temperature sensor - see [[Cumulus.ini#Other_weather_station.2Finstrument_specific:|station section of Cumulus.ini]] and set 'WMR928TempChannel=N' parameter appropriately.
▲On your website, use the [[Webtags#Extra_Sensors|webtags listed here]] on a [[Customised_templates|template page]] that is processed by Cumulus to either display current values (this could be the indexT.htm page), or to treat as parameters for feeding graphics as on the 'gaugesT.htm' page. As at August 2013, Cumulus does not calculate extremes for these extra sensors (unless it is the Oregon Scientific extra temperature sensor replacing the main one).
Any extra sensor monthly log can be updated at your usual website update interval by specifying the parameter 'ExtraLocal[0-99]=ExtraLogyyyymm.txt' see [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_FTP_Site]], unfortunately this will need to be updated manually each month to insert the correct replacements for 'yyyymm' if you want the current log. A script can then read the file into an array or database for further processing.
