Cumulus MX Tutorial

Post by sabi »

Hello everyone, I hope you understand my question because I do not know English and I will use the google translator

Someone can tell me where I can find a complete tutorial of Cumulus MX, from how it is installed until you know how to save the data. Well I have a problem with the rain meter and I am not able to correct it. The buttons to modify the quantities do not go away, I can only modify Today's rain.

Those who are new to this have a big problem with the lack of knowledge of the program.
Thank you
a greeting

There is a huge amount of information available about MX.

The instructions are here - https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=12908

The FAQ and known issues are here - https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=12943

MX is still in beta, so anyone wanting to use it should approach it accordingly. Information about beta testing is here - https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=12991

Most of the general Cumulus FAQ also applies to MX - http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/FAQ

There is a large amount of information in the wiki, much of which also applies to MX - http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/

And of course the forum also contains a lot of useful information, although that is harder to search (using Google is probably best).

I don't know what you mean by this:
The buttons to modify the quantities do not go away,


And regarding this:
I can only modify Today's rain.
That's correct, there is currently only an editor for today's rain in MX. For other items you need to stop MX and edit the files directly. There is information in the FAQ and wiki about editing rainfall totals, all of which applies to MX apart from the missing editors.

If you have any specific questions not answered by the above, please ask and someone will be able to help.
