Even more dramatic changes to the MX configuration have been happening since 3.8.0, with the biggest changes at 3.9.2, 3.10.0, and 3.12.0 therefore, the decision was taken to abandon maintaining the page previously called "Cumulus.ini", and start again with a brand new empty page!Īll the pages, previously called "Cumulus.ini", can be found from the owning category.The dramatic development of MX produced considerable differences between that original MX beta, and the configuration that applied up to 3.7.0, as now documented here.There were minor differences between the legacy cumulus.ini (for versions 1.x.y, ending with 1.9.4) with documentation now here and the original 3.0.0 beta (previously documented on Cumulus.ini (Beta) page, but that page has been cleared).MX has been developed very dramatically by Mark Crossley: Why does this Wiki now contain multiple pages describing "Cumulus.ini"? Control what is output to those destinations, to the extent that each can be configured.Identify where you want MX to output to (options include external web sites, and database tables).Identify which derivatives are source ones (read directly from weather station and converted to your preferred units) and which derivatives MX is to calculate for you.Identify which weather station type MX is to read, and settings related to that model.The configuration settings in Cumulus.ini have the following main purposes (this list may be incomplete):
#LOGGER PRO 3.12 TO 3.4 SOFTWARE#
This page covers those used by the Cumulus MX software application.įor MX there can only to be one Cumulus.ini file, and it must be stored in the same folder as the executable "CumulusMX.exe". This is a text file containing initialization parameters.
#LOGGER PRO 3.12 TO 3.4 HOW TO#
#LOGGER PRO 3.12 TO 3.4 UPDATE#
Since this page describes a file whose content frequently changes, this page may be out of date, unless somebody bothers to update it for every change. A lot of research is often needed before MX can be correctly documented here by any other contributor! This is because when new releases change functionality, the announcement is often unclear on what exactly changed. Please be aware that any information on this page may be incorrect, unless the relevant contributor was the developer. (Unfortunately, it is not easy to convert pages originally written for the legacy software into pages that document MX, as it is often unclear if the two flavours work the same way, and MX is diverging rapidly from the old functionality). But the legacy software was much simpler to document, and there were multiple contributors, one of whom was the Cumulus author who knew what the software was doing. When everyone used Cumulus 1, the Cumulus Wiki was highly rated as being comprehensive. If you need to consult others, please use either the Cumulus Wiki suggestions forum or Cumulus board at.You will find help on how to contribute to this wiki at How to Edit.Please use the Request Account form to apply for a userid (you may have to wait some time for a response).If you plan on CONTRIBUTING to the Wiki, then you will need a userid. Is there some information on this page, that should be on a separate page? Can you create the new page and move the less relevant information off this page, don't forget this page needs a link to the new page so people who expect to find it here know where it has moved to?.Does any page need a section for novices, so they don't need to read more technical information further down that page?.Will you make this page more useful by bringing content up-to-date as new releases change some information written for older releases?.Can you contribute simple text for novice users, examples of what you have done, correction of typing or factual errors, or supply missing details?.
Do you use hardware, or MX functionality, that is not yet documented? Can you begin that documenting?.
