== How do I set up recording wind speeds in Cumulus, with Oregon Scientific and La Crosse stations  ==


La Crosse and some Oregon Scientific weather stations only output a single wind speed.  To allow Cumulus to calculate 'gust' and 'wind speed' with different values, select the '''Station''' dialogue from the ''Configuration'' menu and set '''Calculate 10 min wind average''', so the 10-minute average (calculated from the station 'Wind' values) is reported for 'wind speed' and the highest of those values over the previous 10 minutes is reported as 'Gust'.  In [[cumulus.ini]] this will produce the parameter 'Wind10MinAverage=1.
La Crosse and some Oregon Scientific weather stations only output a single wind speed.  To allow Cumulus to calculate 'gust' and 'wind speed' with different values, select the '''Station''' dialogue from the ''Configuration'' menu and set ''Calculate 10 min wind average'' in the 'Settings' frame, so in [[cumulus.ini]] this will produce the parameter 'Wind10MinAverage=1 when cumulus is next stopped.
* The station's 'Wind' value will then display as Cumulus 'Latest'.
* A 10 minute average of the station's 'Wind' value will then display as Cumulus 'Average'.
* The highest of the station's 'Wind' value in a 10 minute period will then display as Cumulus 'Gust'.
