+A note on supported measurements
+--------------------------------
+
+While this program supports several measurements, and will faithfully
+request all of the ones you specify (provided they're supported), the
+weather station may not record them. In this case, the data will simply
+be ignored (i.e. it will NOT log "0" when there's no measurement
+available).
+
+
+InfoEx provides a mechanism for inspecting your automated weather
+station data, so use that after setting this program up and compare it
+with the data you see in your web browser.
+
+Here's the list of measurements currently supported:
+
+precipitationGauge
+tempPres
+hS
+baro
+rH
+windSpeedNum
+windDirectionNum
+windGustSpeedNum (only supported by MesoWest)

+Future plans
+------------

+- Improve the documentation
+- Implement unit conversion for NRCS stations
