'''CURRENTLY CUMULUS MX specific parameters are listed on [[Cumulus.ini (Beta)|Cumulus.ini(Beta)]] page.'''


If you are using a beta build, there may be changes to the information shown below with additional sections and/or additional parameters (attribute=value) under test.  Brief details of such changes will be given in the support forum announcement for the relevant build. New sections and/or attributes and/or values for beta versions of Cumulus are not listed here until the version becomes 'live' however there is a [[Cumulus.ini_(Beta)|page]] that details the additional parameters available in the Beta version once they have become established, but for details of beta tests see  [http://sandaysoft.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2 the forum].

|This is set in the settings frame on the Station settings screen off the configuration menu by the '''Extra Sensors''' selection. If you have 'extra sensors' selected, the wet bulb reading will be used as an extra temperature sensor. Otherwise it is used as 'wet bulb' and the humidity will be calculated from that and the dry bulb sensor.  
*0=Disabled (default)
*0=Disabled (default)- . For a wet bulb sensor, Cumulus will output the humidity, not the temperature shown by the wet bulb.
*1= Enabled - Used for optional Sunshine hours or extra temperature sensors on Instromet stations.
