When run it is first checked if anything has to be done through the parameters ''ExtraSensors'' (in cumulusutils.ini) and ''LogExtraSensors'' (in Cumulus.ini). | When run it is first checked if anything has to be done through the parameters ''ExtraSensors'' (in cumulusutils.ini) and ''LogExtraSensors'' (in Cumulus.ini). | ||
When both parameters are true then the names of the extra sensors in ''strings.ini'' are checked if they deviate from the default. If they deviate it means the user has changed the name which is taken as a proof of presence of an ''Extra Sensor''. A sensor present means the realtime data and a corresponding chart will be created for presentation. The only sensor where the name in ''strings.ini'' is not determinant for its presence is the Ecowitt CO2 sensor. Those names may be changed by the user, but only a value in the logfile for the CO2 value is taken as proof of presence. | When both parameters are true then the names of the extra sensors in ''strings.ini'' are checked if they deviate from the default. If they deviate it means the user has changed the name which is taken as a proof of presence of an ''Extra Sensor''. NOTE: the sensors are intended to be defined in a contiguous order, so defining ''sensor 1'' and ''sensor 3'' would leave open ''sensor 2''. If ''sensor 2'' is not connected you would need to give it a name (e.g. ''Not Connected''). It will be displayed but always have a value 0. This may change in future versions. | ||

A structure is created for each sensor present. Each AirQuality sensor is automatically coupled with an AirQualityAvg sensor (which is not a physical sensor by itself) for presentation. For each CO2 sensor all seven successive sensors (see strings.ini) are also created. | A structure is created for each sensor present.
