== 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).
