Cumulus Support

Recently, I've added a lot of customization to the CMX dashboard as well as default website. I am not even going to attempt to update the web and webfiles folders right now until I have time to carefully do so.

However, I attempted to update the rest of CMX (while still using my own index.html file within the interface folder. Besides having to revert a few of the css files, I noticed that the values on the Wind Speeds tile on the dashboard are just showing integers and no decimals. Looking at the html itself, I can see the span ID's of each piece of the tile, but I cannot figure out where those are actually pulled from. I am fairly certain they aren't in any of the css files. So I would assume one of the js scripts?

I know this is something simple, and many might not care if this changed for them. However, with the amount of time I spent customizing the dashboard for my own viewing, I would like to try and keep these decimal points there.

Any help is welcomed.

There are options in the settings to control the number of decimal places for meteorological variables.

Freddie, thanks for the heads up. I had not reviewed the new menu pages yet. Are they broken out and detailed enough that those wind speeds are their own setting (as opposed to an all-or-nothing decimal setting)?

Yes they are fine grained per-variable settings. They are under Settings > Station settings > General settings > Units > Advanced options

EDIT with the fix for anybody else who makes this mistake! Even though the ini updated, I needed to actually restart CMX to get the change to show. My bad!


So I finally made the change today. I also adjusted the setting as you advised, however, I still have no decimals on my wind speed tile. It's not a cache issue, so I am not quite sure what else I am missing.

If you are just using a VP2 console, then it only supplies the average wind speed in whole MPH.

I use a WLL with my VP2 system, that supplies the average wind speed in tenths of MPH, I have my units set 1 dp for wind average, and 0 dp for gust values (since these are always whole mph from the ISS)...

Mark, makes sense. I am not using the console. ISS to Weather Envoy to server. So I first see the data in CMX

Speaking of wind speed, updated to 3.10.2 (build 3117) and noticed my wind speed graph was back to showing just whole numbers (I have a WLL so it was showing 1/10s). I have changed the "Wind speed average decimals" under settings from 0 to 1, and that seems to have sorted it.

However, quick question, when I look at the gauges, the current wind speed is a whole number (1.0, 2.0, 3.0 etc), just want to check that the WLL only provides a whole number for current wind speed but a decimal for average.

The ISS sends integer MPH values, you will only get decimals if you use another unit such as m/s
