= Features of Cumulus Software =
If you have not used Cumulus before, and are wondering whether to explore it further, this article is for you,
<big>If there is information that you would like to see added to this page</big>, either sdd it yourself (you need to register), or put your suggestion in the correct [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=38 Support Sub-Forum]. Thank you.
== Key Features ==
*Free for personal and non-profit use, (Steve Loft said "but a donation would be appreciated if you continue to use Cumulus after trying it", since he retired from developing Cumulus, the donation option has ended)
*Cumulus 1 runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10
*Comprehensive help file included
*Free support available in the support forum
== What does it look like ==
For Cumulus 1, all the screen shots are shown on [[Cumulus_Screenshots]] page.
For Cumulus MX, most of the standard web pages look the same as those for Cumulus 1. MX also provides an admin interface, that is used for 3 main purposes:
#Entering all the settings
#Editing the extreme records, and viewing/editing the log files
#Looking at the weather readings and derivatives, there is a summary dashboard (a replacement for Cumulus 1 main screen, this is where alarms are heard), and screens for current conditions, today/yesterday, this month/this year/monthly all years, monthly reports, yearly reports.
Building up a library of screen shots for MX is planned, when development slows down (so it is not a moving target).
== Periodic Actions ===
