Line 1: Line 1:
The cumulus.ini [[:Category:Configuration Files| configuration file]] is a text file containing initialization parameters used by the Cumulus application, and is read only when Cumulus starts up.
The cumulus.ini [[:Category:Configuration Files| configuration file]] is located in the directory in which you installed Cumulus. It is a text file containing initialization parameters used by the Cumulus application, and is read only when Cumulus starts up. Parameters are in the form 'attribute=value' and grouped into sections. Cumulus re-writes the contents of the application configuration screens to the file when it shuts down.
It is located in the directory in which you installed Cumulus and is updated whenever you change any configuration parameters from the application configuration pages. Cumulus also re-writes the contents of the application configuration pages to the file when it shuts down, so if you want to edit the file yourself, make sure Cumulus is stopped.
Note that some configuration settings can only be applied by editing this file to insert them; they do not appear anywhere in the configuration screens. Cumulus does not write these values back out to the file on shut down, so they do not appear with default values - in other words, you need to ''add'' them if you want to set them.
Note also that if your system is configured to use a comma for a decimal separator, then you should use a comma in any decimal values that you set in this file.


== Section: Station ==
== Editing the file ==
Many configuration parameters are changed from the various application configuration pages, you should never edit these directly in the file while Cumulus is running, as Cumulus will replace these parameters with the contents of the relevant application Edit/View/Configuration screens to the file when it shuts down.  You can edit them in the file with Cumulus stopped, it will read the new values when it restarts, but beware of selecting invalid values for these parameters, generally it is safer to use the application to edit them (unless you are importing values from another setup).
 
Note that some configuration settings can only be applied by editing this file to insert them; they do not appear anywhere in the configuration screens. Cumulus does not write these values back out to the file on shut down, so they do not appear with default values - in other words, you need to ''add'' them if you want to set them. Make sure you place these additional parameters in the correct section as listed below.
 
'''Note''' also that if your system is configured to use a comma for a decimal separator, then you should use a comma in any decimal values that you set in this file.
 
== File Contents ==
All installations (using the current version of Cumulus) will contain all the following sections (although the order of sections is inmaterial and probably reflects when you started using Cumulus as new sections have been added at the end by various versions), some relate to the external websites that Cumulus can optionally supply with updates, if you do not use those services those parameters will be set to the defaults.  Within a section, newer versions of cumulus may add additional parameters set by revised configuration screens, and permit additional parameters to be added manually.
 
If you are not using the current version, or you are using a beta build, then checking the release information may be advisable before you make changes.  I also strongly advise taking a backup of Cumulus.ini at regular intervals, to ensure you have a version to return to if an edit (within cumulus or externally) causes a problem.
=== Section: Station ===
See individual parameters for specific instructions on setting them. In many cases this is by using Station Configuration Screen, but if the parameter does not exist in your file, then insert it using a file editor.

Note that you need to set Cumulus to calculate the wind chill (if your station is a type that supplies one itself) for this setting to have any effect.
Note that ''CalculatedWC=1'' is needed for this setting to have any effect (if your station is a type that supplies wind chill itself); i.e. you need to set Cumulus (see directly above) to calculate the wind chill if it is to apply a rule based on temperature.

This section also appears in a shorter cumulus.ini stored in the reports sub-directory where it stores the position of your last saved NOAA form.  Cumulus updates this section of the main cumulus.ini on closing, after you move the screen around on your monitor, if you have set 'Save main window position' on Display settings screen.
