+1. In `configs/datamodule/local_premade_batches.yaml`:
+    - update `batch_dir` to point to the directory you stored your batches in during batch creation
+2. In `configs/model/local_multimodal.yaml`:
+    - update the list of encoders to reflect the data sources you are using. If you are using different NWP sources, the encoders for these should follow the same structure with two important updates:
+        - `in_channels`: number of variables your NWP source supplies
+        - `image_size_pixels`: spatial crop of your NWP data. It depends on the spatial resolution of your NWP; should match `nwp_image_size_pixels_height` and/or `nwp_image_size_pixels_width` in `datamodule/example_configs.yaml`, unless transformations such as coarsening was applied (e. g. as for ECMWF data)
+3. In `configs/local_trainer.yaml`:
+    - set `accelerator: 0` if running on a system without a supported GPU

 ## Backtest
 
-If you have succesfully trained a PVNet model and have a saved model checkpoint you can create a backtest using this, e.g. forecasts on historical data to evaluate forecast accuracy/skill. This can be done by running one of the scripts in this repo such as [the UK gsp backtest script](scripts/backtest_uk_gsp.py) or the [the pv site backtest script](scripts/backtest_sites.py), further info on how to run these are in each backtest file.
