Originally, there was a separate page Cumulus.ini (Beta) used for MX, when Steve Loft was developing MX and kept it in Beta. Therefore this page should help you whatever MX release you are running. It is intended that any additions made to the list will indicate which release made that extra parameter available.
#EASYWEATHER 8.8 SOFTWARE#
Please note that this list is not updated by the developers when they change the software to react to a new attribute, therefore there is no guarantee that all attributes available appear in this documentation. Sometimes a search on the forum for something else reveals a mention of an additional parameter that can be added to the file but has not been previously added to this list. None of the authors who have contributed so far can claim completeness. If you spot a parameter that is missing from this list (check you are looking in the right section, and under the correct sub-heading where a section is sub-divided for ease of using this article), then please add it to this Wiki article. A parameter may be read-only in earlier releases, but read-write in later releases, this means some parameters may not be where you first expect them to be.To make it easier to navigate larger tables, read-only and read-write parameters may be grouped under relevant sub-heading within the table.As explained later, in past MX releases, some parameters are read-only, and some are read-write.A parameter may be defined in multiple sub-sections, if its definition needs to be explained differently according to weather station types.Some sections can take a lot of parameters, and for these sub-sections may be added, that allow you to navigate directly to them from the table of contents.Cumulus.ini uses sections, thus the first way that the list is divided is by the relevant section where the parameter must be placed.say what release introduces any new parameter.use bullets where there is a choice of values.the explanation should be in second column.the default value should be shown in first column,.create a new sub-section if the correct sub-section does not exist.add any new parameters to the correct sub-section.The only rules are to follow existing table layout where possible, The short answer to that question is that it is likely this documentation has not been kept up to date!Īnybody with a log-in for this Wiki can edit this page, and your contribution to improving this article is welcomed. The parameters listed can change the look of Cumulus, can hold basic information about your location, can amend the way Cumulus interfaces with your weather station, can hold the settings used to interface with your website, and with various external websites. When Cumulus restarts it will read the file again and see any edits you have made. If you do need to edit the file, close Cumulus first to ensure you are working on latest contents, and your edit cannot conflict with any edit Cumulus may be making.In some versions of MX, a back up copy of Cumulus.ini is stored at end of each day (together with some of the log files).Note any Cumulus MX save action may change the order, or add lines, compared to any file that you manually edited.In early versions of MX, there were some "read-only" parameters, these cannot be configured within Cumulus, but were retained if they were in any previous copy of the file.The file shows as 'modified date' the last time that Cumulus was shut down, the file will contain the contents of the application's configuration screens.if the file does exist as MX starts, a backup is taken so if you subsequently change any settings you can go back to how it was before you made those changes.In the case of that first run, the file will exist when it shuts down.if this is the first run of the software, part of what it does will create the file for first time.
#EASYWEATHER 8.8 DOWNLOAD#
When Cumulus MX is run for very first time, the file does not exist, as it is not included in the download (of either flavour).It is only read when Cumulus MX starts up.Cumulus.ini is a text file containing initialization parameters used by the Cumulus MX application.3.2.10 Sections dealing with interfaces to external sites.
