Bringing the data to the web
Data flow from sensors to the webserver - the schematic diagram should be at least a tad self-explanatory...
- Data from the sensors is radio transmitted to the weather station's console and stored there.
- The iMac is running the Trixology WeatherCat software which polls the console for data via an USB connection.
- The WeatherCat software cyclically processes predifened and customized HTML code as well as JPEG data.
- As soon as a set of files is complete, it is FTPed to the VMS machine hosting this website.
- The HTML files are then processed by a DCL procedure on the VMS machine to match this website's appearance.
