* | *These parameters apply to Fine Offset stations and their clones, but a few may be more widely applicable | ||
*Some parameters are set on screens, other attributes do not appear in the file unless they are added using an external editor, but the values still have a recommended default value as explained 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. | *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. | *However, spike removal correction may be implemented for La Crosse stations using the EW filter settings 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. | |||

Introduced in version 1.8.5 (b.630) to deal with certain bytes being given the same value in first and second line. For example one problem is that "55 AA" repeats at the start of the second line of data. Those bytes are only supposed to appear at the start of the first line (or so I am told). | |||
*0 = Disabled, default, Cumulus accepts all bytes from the Fine Offset station's memory. | |||
