+|ImetWaitTime=200
+|This parameter (attribute=value) if you need to change it from its '''default of 200 ms''' is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen.
+Specifies the time in milliseconds that Cumulus allows for a response from an Instromet station. If you are having problems with reading from an Instromet station, try inserting this line into the ''Station'' section using a value of 500. According to the specification, 500 ms is the absolute maximum time that the station should take to respond to any command.
+|-
+|SyncDavisClock=0
+|Set this in the Station Configuration Screen Settings block where called '''Synchronize station clock'''. Note despite the name of the parameter within 'Cumulus.ini', this does apply to Instromet stations.
+When set, at Cumulus start-up and at 04:00 each day, Cumulus will set the Davis VP/VP2 clock to within a minute of the same time as the PC
+*0 = Disabled, default as deselected on the Station Configuration Screen
+*1 = Enabled, ensures that when Cumulus asks the station for data since time X, both recognise X!
+|-
+|LogExtraSensors=0
+|This is set in the settings frame on the Station settings screen off the configuration menu by the '''Extra Sensors''' selection.
+*0=Disabled (default)
+*1= Enabled - Used for optional Sunshine hours or extra temperature sensors on Instromet stations.
+(Note this attribute appears in [[#Davis_family_specific|Davis family]], [[#Oregon_Scientific_specific:|Oregon Scientific specific]] and [[#Introduced_for_problems_with_Fine_Offset_family:|Fine Offset family]] tables above with different usage explanations).
