# Restart Cumulus MX, it will read your new settings (in '''Cumulus.ini''' and the optional '''strings.ini''') on re-starting, it will find the weather station, and start reading the weather data from it. On this first access to your weather station, it will not read any archive data (there is a way to modify [[today.ini]] so it can read what is in the separate logger), but from now (until you stop it) it will read (and from time to time log) the live data while MX remains running. | # Restart Cumulus MX, it will read your new settings (in '''Cumulus.ini''' and the optional '''strings.ini''') on re-starting, it will find the weather station, and start reading the weather data from it.

==What happens if I upgrade MX?== | |||
If you upgrade to a newer MX build, as that release distribution does not contain a "Cumulus.ini", you cannot lose your settings entered in your existing file. However, be aware that a new release may remove some settings, and add new settings, hopefully the release announcement will give specific details. Otherwise, you will need to work through all the Settings Pages, and all the "MX Sections" (see Terminolgy below) | |||

Furthermore, at the end of each (meteorological) day, MX creates a back-up in the [[Backup folder|backup/daily/TIME_NAME sub- folder]]. The TIME_NAME is constructed from a string of digits representing the date and time the directory was created (without any punctuation) e.g. 20060519090000. In that folder, recent MX releases, include a copy of the current "Cumulus.ini" file. | |||
