 == Parameter for adding debugging ==
-You can also add  '''CumulusMX.exe -debug''' (to have full debugging turned on as MX starts), '''CumulusMX.exe -Logging=1''' (for the Davis specific logging).
+MX has a default level of logging that stores in  the [[MXDiags]] folder a log file that shows some of the interaction with the weather station and some of the output actions done as MX runs. A new log is started each time MX is restarted.
+If there is a problem, then there is a great benefit in actually increasing the level of detail in these logs; and that is done either within the settings ('''options''' section of ''station settings'') in admin interface  while MX is running, or by adding 1 or 2 parameters when you start MX.  Obviously this log file continues to grow, the longer MX is left running, and if debugging is switched on the file will grow in size must faster. Consequently, the default is not to add the extra debugging information and the settings can be used to switch it off again if you do have it switched on. Whether you start it with a parameter or enable it within settings, stopping MX will end the extra debugging, and on restart it will default back to no debugging unless turned on again with parameter or setting.
+You can also add  '''CumulusMX.exe -debug''' (to have full debugging of actions by MX turned on as MX starts), and/or '''CumulusMX.exe -Logging=1''' (for the station to MX transfers to have increased debugging logging).
 <pre>sudo mono CumulusMX.exe -debug -Logging=1</pre>
+Since this parameter is applied when you start MX, it applies while MX continues to run. Obviously, it must be applied every time you start MX if you want this increased level of logging to continue every time you restart MX.
