There was one added for the Steel Gauges that showed the status of the station comms. It's not widely documented, but try:
COMMSFAILFLAG$
It'll be 0 if all good, otherwise a 1.

Dear Randall, Stu, and WeatherCat web infomaniacs . . .

Hi WeatherCat Gang
 Is there a tag for the WeatherCat Status?

As I assume you also know, there are all sorts of status web tags that can be generated using my WC Status Growler AppleScript if you also use the WC AppleScript Tags Processor AppleScript.

Hi Stu and Edouard
 Edouard i use the station_console with your WC Status Growl.
But was hoping for a tag that would also show the actual status window from the tools menu


thanks


cheers

Okay, now I get what you are asking for. (Re: WeatherCat Status Tag)

Hi Randall, Stu, and WeatherCat fans,

Okay, now I understand what you are after.  This would be a feature request, but I would assume it is relatively straightforward as WeatherCat already had tags that provide other displays such as the standard gauges.

Cheers, Edouard
