|VP2SleepInterval=500
|VP2SleepInterval=500
|This read-only parameter is the period which Cumulus waits between reads of the data from Davis stations, the value is in milliseconds. The default if the parameter has not been added manually to the file is 500 ms; if you suspect that data is being missed, you could add this parameter, manually reducing this figure. For VirtualVP users, tests revealed that VP2SleepInterval = 1100 seems to work the best. It updates every two seconds with few exceptions.

|Davis stations calculate Sea Level Pressure from Station Pressure using a formula based on several parameters such as temperature, humidity, etc, rather than just using altitude as most other stations. CWOP require 'Altimeter Pressure' to be uploaded, i.e. a value calculated simply using altitude. '''Note for MX''', use of the LOOP2 interface means s.l.p. can be obtained from the Davis station.

|Davis stations calculate Sea Level Pressure (SLP) from Station Pressure (SP) using a formula based on temperature, humidity, and altitude


If you don't use CWOP, or you are happy for Cumulus to send Sea-Level pressure to CWOP (the difference is small unless you are at high altitude), set this value to 0.
CWOP require 'Altimeter Pressure' (AP) to be uploaded, i.e. a value calculated simply using altitude.  
Cumulus will then use the Sea-Level Pressure value instead of the Cumulus calculated Altimeter Pressure.
*0 = Use SLP supplied by Davis
*0 = Disabled
*1 = Convert the SP Davis supplies to AP using the altitude you have supplied.
*1 = Enabled (default)

|When the clock minute changes, Cumulus stops the current stream of data from the console, disconnects, waits for the specified number of milliseconds, to allow the Weatherlink IP to briefly connect to the Davis Weatherlink site. Cumulus then attempts to reconnect.

|1 (use Loop2)
|The current MX code uses ''LOOP2'' for two purposes. First, it uses the 'peak 10-minute gust' value, to avoid the problem where a gust might be missed, and secondly it uses the 'absolute pressure' value to make calculation of 'altimeter pressure' easier and more accurate. This is mainly used if you upload to CWOP.

*1 (default) = Cumulus MX will use the LOOP2 packet for Davis Weather Stations by default.  The LOOP2 packet is supported on the VP2 with firmware version 1.90 or later, and on the Vue.

|VPrainGaugeType=0

|The default is to assume that people using MM units to display rain in Cumulus have a Metric Rain Adapter fitted to their rain gauge so it tips for every 0.2mm, and those selecting inches as their unit have the unmodified 0.01" rain gauge. This parameter over-rides that assumption, but note that conversion rounding errors will then occur.
