|By default, the 'realtime' ftp connection stays connected. You can make it disconnect periodically by adding an Option to periodically disconnect the realtime FTP connection, the theory being that it will not get stuck if the server dies, and will keep trying to reconnect.  
N must be a positive integer. For example set N to '60'; it represents the number of realtime ftp uploads between disconnections - so 60 would give an hour if 1 minute realtime interval selected.

|EWpressureoffset=x.y
|Got a pressure problem with a Fine Offset station? This can occur on startup when the pressure 'offset' that Cumulus reads is garbage, so Cumulus just uses zero (so effectively you end up with your absolute pressure being recorded instead of relative pressure). There's a work around for this by telling Cumulus what offset to use, rather than reading it from the station. You specify it in cumulus.ini by adding a line to the [Station] section: where x.y is the difference between your station (absolute) and sea-level (relative) pressures, in mb/hPA.

|Logging=1

|VP2SleepInterval=x
|where x is sleepinterval in milliseconds
This is the period which Cumulus waits between reads of the data from Davis stations. The default is 500 ms; if you suspect that data is being missed, you could try reducing this figure. For VirtualVP users, tests revealed that VP2SleepInterval = 1100 seems to work the best. It updates every two seconds with few exceptions.
|-
|WS2300Sync=1
|This makes Cumulus check the time that the station is going to communicate with the sensors, and synchronises all of its reads to be 2.5 seconds after that. Experiments have shown that this does not help the bad data situation.
|-
|VPClosedownTime=x
|where x is the number of seconds after the start of the re-connect attempts that you want the program to close itself.

|EWduplicatecheck=0
|Add this line to cumulus.ini [Station] section if application gets stuck in the download stage.

|LCMaxWind=X
|To use the cumulus.ini setting for the La Crosse max wind speed add to the [station] section, where X is the maximum (uncalibrated) wind speed in m/s that you want to allow. (V1.8.8 Build 874 on)
