*4 = 'other' inch
*5 = 'other' mm
{{Version badge 1}}Davis have not documented what calculations the DLL does for options 4 and 5. If this line is not included in '''cumulus.ini''' the DLL will use whatever type the station tells it to use
|-
|ForceVPBarUpdate=0
|-
|Port=0
|{{Version badge 1}}Set this in the Station Configuration Screen '''Serial Port''' block.
Identifies COM Port used if Davis type is serial. Default is 0.
|-
'''Note for MX''', use of the LOOP2 (see [[Cumulus.ini_(Beta)#Section:_Station| here]]) means s.l.p. can be obtained from the Davis station.
{{Version badge 1}}'''The following note applies to Cumulus 1.x.x:''' The station does not provide this value directly, nor the station pressure, so Cumulus 1.x.x 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.
|-
|RestartIfDataStops=0
|{{Version badge 1}}This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen.
Cumulus 1 attempts to restart itself if it has had no data from the station for 60 seconds. Davis stations can use this option explained in the [[#La_Crosse_specific:|La Crosse]] table if Cumulus sometimes fails to read information from the logger. As it says in the help, it may not fix the connection problem, but at least it stops Cumulus logging, so once you have fixed the problem it will download the missing data when you start it up again.
