I started pasting in useful material, mostly from Steve Loft's posts in the forum about the beta version of MX, but as at that time I was not using MX I hoped somebody else would make sense of it and create a better layout. Of course nobody did.
When I did start using MX, I decided to edit other articles first, see [[Cumulus MX]], [[Cumulus MX formal release versions]], [[Webtags]], [[Cumulus.ini]], [[Dayfile.txt]], [[:Category:Log Files]], [[Php webtags]], and various others.

#* For other weather station types, look in the forum for advice or read the station instructions.
# If the output values are frequently incorrect, MX provides some calibration settings in the admin interface. These vary dependent on the type of weather reading you want to correct. In general they use a formula like <tt> Output = Multiplier_2 X Input<sup>2</sup> + Multiplier_1 X input + Offset</tt> so in the settings you can specify the multipliers and offset to use in that equation.
#If only a small numbers are incorrect, MX provides editors for the logs that store extremes (although for today only the rainfall can be edited). See the pages linked from [[:Category:Log Files|:Category:Log Files]] to discover more about each log and how to deal with rogue values. View and edit these on'''Edit''' tab of admin interface.
#You can correct any individual rogue value in a monthly log as MX (see viewer editor on '''Data logs''' tab of admin interface.
#As rainfall has a lot of different derivatives stored for it (hourly totals, daily totals, rain rate) it is quite complicated to correct, so there are a series of instruction in the [[FAQ#My_station_invented_some_rain_that_didn.27t_really_occur.2C_and_I_want_to_set_it_to_zero_.28or_some_other_figure.29|C1 FAQ]].
