|RestartIfUnplugged=0
|colspan="2" style="background:pink;"|Read-only parameters - The parameters listed below must be entered directly into file with Cumulus stopped. Used in both C1 and MX unless indicated.
|{{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.
 
Not applicable to MX
|-
|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.

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.
