+and other similar USB devices from Fine Offset Electronics Co., LTD.
+compatible with the EasyWeather application .

+The result is a weather history log file that can be uploaded to a central
+server for further processing. Example script files for uploads is included.
+So far the following formats are supported:
+ * Weather Underground
+ * pywws
+ * XML
+
+fowsr performs a complete read out of the weather station memory using its
+USB port, and stores the result in a cache file to speed up later read-outs.
+Rain data is then calculated per hour, day, week and month if data for these
+periods exist. No further data processing is performed. This makes fowsr
+very small and well suited for running in embedded devices at remote
+locations.
