See individual parameters for specific instructions on setting them.  
The read-only parameters must be entered directly into the configuration file. Stop Cumulus before editing this file using any plain text editor, not a word processor


{{Version badge 1}}In many cases this is by using Station Configuration Screen in Cumulus 1, but if the parameter line does not exist in your file, then insert it using a file editor as per instructions above.  
{{Version badge 1}}The read-write parameters are set using '''Station Configuration Screen''' in Cumulus 1 (C1).  


[[File:Badge vMx.png]] There is a station settings page in MX. Again, it does not cover every setting, and for some you need to stop MX and edit this file directly.
[[File:Badge vMx.png]] The read-write parameters are set using the '''Station Settings''' page in MX.  
 
 
See individual parameters for specific instructions on setting them. The defaults are shown in left hand column, but be aware that some might have different defaults in C1 and MX, and that this article was first created when only Cumulus 1 was available.

|RainDayThreshold=-1
|If this parameter is not included in the file, the default is '''-1''' and that represents 0.2 mm or 0.01 inches.
#The parameter specifies the threshold value which the daily rainfall has to equal or exceed for the day to be considered a 'rain day'.
#Value is entered in your current [[Rain_measurement]] units.

|NoFlashWetDryDayRecords=1
| * When set to 1 (default) stops new Longest Wet/Dry Period records being 'flashed' in Cumulus 1
* Set to 0 if you are happy to have the record light on your Cumulus 1 main screen flash for each rainfall update
[[File:Badge vMx.png]]It is not clear if MX reads this parameter, as it does not show this record on the admin interface dashboard
