Tell Cumulus what offset to use, by using an external text editor to insert this parameter where x.y is your pressure offset in in mb or hPa [i.e. your station (absolute) pressure subtracted from the sea-level (relative) pressure]. Applies to Cumulus 1 and MX. | Tell Cumulus what offset to use, by using an external text editor to insert this parameter where x.y is your pressure offset in in mb or hPa [i.e. your station (absolute) pressure subtracted from the sea-level (relative) pressure].

|RestartIfUnplugged=0 | |||
|{{Version badge 1}}This is set in the settings frame on the Station settings screen off the configuration menu. | |||
*0 = Disabled, default i.e. deselected on the Station Configuration Screen | |||
*1 = Enabled, Cumulus will restart if it detects that a Fine Offset station is unplugged. '''Note:''' Unless the station has been manually plugged in again, a Cumulus restart has no benefit; normally the station should be checked to be plugged in before Cumulus is ever started and the station then left plugged in. | |||

|SyncFOReads=0 | |||
|This is set in the settings frame on the Station settings screen off the configuration menu. | |||
*0 = Synchronisation disabled, default (Cumulus reads the memory without taking into account when memory is being updated) | |||
*1 = Re-synchronizes once each day, to avoid reading memory at time of memory update | |||
A Fine Offset station will be writing to its memory every 48 or 60 seconds (depending on model); Cumulus can attempt once a day to identify when this update of memory occurs, and thereafter try not to read the memory at update time, by using what is called a synchronisation mode of operation. See next parameter. | |||
