|-
|FCPressureThreshold=0.1
|It specifies the threshold (in mb per hour averaged over 3-hour period) for a pressure change to count as rising or falling rather than steady when determining the Zambretti forecast. The default is 0.1 mb/hr averaged over the previous three hours. If the parameter is not included in the file, the default value is assumed.
|-
|RTdisconnectcount=infinite
|{{Version badge 1}}By default, the 'realtime' ftp connection stays connected. But you can add '''RTdisconnectcount=N''' to force a disconnection after N realtime ftp uploads. For example, if you set '''RealtimeInterval=60''' there will be 60 seconds between each update and '''RTdisconnectcount=60''' would force a disconnection each hour.
[[File:Badge vMx.png]]There have been changes to FTP handling in MX releases, and it is not clear if this parameter is used by MX
|-
|ErrorLogSpikeRemoval=0
|This is read-only below version 3.7.0. Because it is now a read-write parameter, please see its entry in next section of this table
|-
|UVdecimals=0
|{{Version badge 1}}(added 1.9.3 build 1038) [[File:Badge vMx.png]] applies at all versions
UV values are now displayed and logged as whole numbers by default. You can change this by adding this entry specifying the number of decimal places:
* 0 = Integer Values (default)
* n = Number of decimal places e.g. 1
|-
|NoSensorCheck=0
|By default, Cumulus will stop working if after 6 attempts it cannot read all the standard readings from a weather station:
#temperature
#humidity
#wind speed
#pressure
This parameter allows disabling of that sensor check:
*  0 = Sensor check enabled (default)
*  1 = Sensor check disabled
|-
|SpecialLog=0
|[File:Badge vMx.png]] Not available in MX
{{Version badge 1}}In Cumulus 1 there is an option of whether to record temperature and humidity (both indoor and outside values) in a log:
* 0 (default) = no special log
* 1 = Add this entry to start updating a file called 'speciallog.txt' in the data folder with the following fields:
date(dd/mm/yy),time(hh:mm),inside temp,inside humidity,inside dew point,outside temp,outside humidity,outside dew point

|FCPressureThreshold=0.1
|This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen. It specifies the threshold (in mb per hour averaged over 3-hour period) for a pressure change to count as rising or falling rather than steady when determining the Zambretti forecast. The default is 0.1 mb/hr averaged over the previous three hours.  If the parameter is not included in the file, the default value is assumed.

|RTdisconnectcount=N
|This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen. By default, the 'realtime' ftp connection stays connected.  If the parameter is not included in the file, the default value is assumed.  You can make it disconnect periodically by adding an Option to periodically disconnect the realtime FTP connection, the theory being that it will not get stuck if the server dies, and will keep trying to reconnect.
N must be a positive integer. For example set N to '60'; it represents the number of realtime ftp uploads between disconnections - so 60 would give an hour if 1 minute realtime interval selected.

[[File:Badge vMx.png]] From version 3.7.0 the default for new installs is now 1. It can be set from the calibration settings screen. It controls the logging of both data spikes and data limits being exceeded. Recommended to be turned on.

[[File:Badge vMx.png]] This parameter is ignored by MX, best to remove it, MX uses a Comport parameter instead, see [[#Parameters_changed|#Parameters_changed section]] above.
