From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Unless you have a specific reason to set it different, the defaults will be fine. Why do you have Rain rate spike removal set at 15? This will negate any rainfall rate over 15 (mm or in. depending on your unit of measure) and that could be missing most rainfalls rates.

Enjoy,
Paul

Cumulus makes a backup of the Cumulus.ini file every time you start it, and every day at rollover.
