{{Version badge 1}}Support for Davis Vantage pro 2 was introduced at version 1.6.0. Prior to 1.9.x, not all parameter settings listed were available, check with release notes for your version and previous versions to see all settings applicable to any earlier version you use.


 
[[File:Badge vMx.png]] Please note that MX specific parameter setting appear after Cumulus 1 specific ones, but many are same for both flavours.
 
 
'''Some''' of the settings below apply to Cumulus MX too, but check the MX support forum to check if individual ones do or do not apply.
* For example 'Port=' is specific to Cumulus 1.
* 'DavisRainCollectorModel' is not available to Cumulus MX users as that does not use the DLL interface.
* At time of writing "RestartIfDataStops" is not available to MX users.


"The DLL" is a Windows Dynamic Link Library supplied by Davis for third parties to use when writing software for Davis stations. It handles fetching data from the console, and does all kinds of useful things like converting the data into the units you require.

|DavisRainCollectorModel=X
|This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen. (Available from Build 1096 of version 1.9.4)
Option to specify rain collector model for Davis stations for situations where the Davis DLL is unable to read it from station, and your rain figures in Cumulus are incorrect as a result (can happen when using Virtual VP, for example).
Value X is an integer from 0 to 5 with the following meanings:
*0 = 0.1 inch
*1 = 0.01 inch
*2 = 0.2 mm
*3 = 1 mm
*4 = 'other' inch
*5 = 'other' mm
{{Version badge 1}}Davis have not documented what calculations the DLL does for options 4 and 5.  If this line is not included in '''cumulus.ini''' the DLL will use whatever type the station tells it to use

|This is set in the '''Settings''' block on the Station settings screen off the configuration menu. Set this to 1 if you have additional sensors (e.g. a Davis Leaf Wetness probe) to make Cumulus read, display, and log the readings from the sensors. You don't select this for Solar/UV sensors.
