+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:
+
+**NRCS:**  
+PREC  
+TOBS  
+SNWD  
+PRES  
+RHUM  
+WSPD  
+WDIR  
+
+**MesoWest:**  
+precip\_accum  
+air\_temp  
+snow\_depth  
+pressure  
+relative\_humidity  
+wind\_speed  
+wind\_direction  
+wind\_gust
