*Note that spike removal correction may be implemented for La Crosse stations using the EW filter settings below. | |||
*As Cumulus does not check station type before applying any of these settings, ensure for Davis stations (these do not have spike problems) the spike removal filters are set to the defaults shown below. | |||
*Stations not recognised by Cumulus may be set to create an [[EasyWeather_Format#Usage_of_easyweather.dat_fields_for_Cumulus_input_of_latest_record: |EasyWeather_Format]] file requiring the first two parameters below. | |||

| | |Got a pressure problem with a Fine Offset station when the pressure 'offset' that Cumulus reads is garbage, so Cumulus just uses zero? Tell Cumulus what offset to use, by using an external text editor to insert this parameter where x.y is the difference between your station (absolute) and sea-level (relative) pressures, in mb/hPa. | ||
