Typo in WeatherCat User Manual
« on: February 11, 2014, 05:47:50 PM »
I know this is a tiny nitpick, but for whoever is in charge of these things, I found a typo in the User Manual on page 10, fourth paragraph, last sentence.

It reads: In addition is provides close to real time Custom C.G.I. upload to a web-server for your own web-based applications along with the ability to send your data to a MySQL database opening up a world of applications in charting and analysis.

The third word should be it rather than is.

Good spot - thank you. A ginger cat is currently holding her head in shame.

I am investigating sensor calibration at the minute and have discovered a dead link in the WeatherCat User Manual. On page 146 there is a link to the Met Office's "Observers Handbook." The link is broken and I could not find the handbook on the Met website. However, I did find a link to a pdf that I think is what we want. If memory serves, and it may very well not, this pdf is very similar to what the old link displayed.

Ah, it's a PDF conversion problem - the URL is split across multiple lines in the manual, this has caused the actual link to be truncated and if you try to copy and paste it into your browser, it'll insert a space at the line-break so still doesn't work - apologies.

Here's the link:

Thanks for the report - much appreciated  [tup]
