And having changed it, did you restart Cumulus? If your annual total is still incorrect, you may have a problem in dayfile.txt - Cumulus will flash the error light if so, and clicking on that will show the problem, which you will need to correct with a (good) text editor with Cumulus stopped.

You can if you wish apply a multiplier for wind speed in the calibration settings. If your anemometer is not reasonably well exposed, then getting a valid reading will not be straightforward, or perhaps not even possible.

You're limited with a Vue because everything is together. You have to decide what measurements are most important to you, because there is no one height at which you can get optimal readings from all sensors. There was discussion about this in another thread not long ago.
