'''Note:''' This approach is viewed as outdated, it was used if obsolete EasyWeather software version 6.2, or earlier, was running at same time as Cumulus software, both ran all the time, and Cumulus was required to simply process the latest record on the database, at the interval set in previous parameter, without all the additional processing Cumulus is able to do if it is reading directly from the console very frequently.

*(attribute and equals sign, but no value)= Default (Station '''Type''' is set to 4). '''Note:''' If you want to run Cumulus without an attached weather station (because your station has a fault or because you have a second PC), it is possible to run Cumulus with station '''Type=4''' but with the default of no file specified in this parameter. The full Cumulus directory structure and its files including those in the ''data'' sub-directory are needed (kept from when your station was working or copied from the PC with the station). Although only the old observations can be accessed, (no new ones are being added), this does allow analysis of the old observations via all Cumulus features such as '''View''' ''This period'' and '''View''' ''Select-A-Graph''.
