The Serial Weather Station interface

Devices of this sort are pretty uncommon now. For documentation, I'm taking text out of the help-English.dat file that Xastir uses for its ancient in-program documentation, as this interface type is rarely used and I don't know how to document it otherwise. The devices it mentions are really old.

• Weather Station device: The serial port to which your weather station is connected.
• Activate on Startup: Should Xastir start this interface every time it starts up.
• Port Settings: Set the baud rate
• Port Style: set bits, parity, stop bits
• Data type:: The Data Type option will allow you to override what type of serial data the program will look for. The auto-detect feature will first look for Weather data in a binary type as the Radio Shack WX-200 uses. If no binary data is found in the stream, Xastir will look for an ASCII type of WX station (like Peet Bros.).
• Rain gauge correction (Global Setting): Xastir requires that the rain gauge report in .01 inch increments. If the unit reports in .1 inch or .1 millimeter increments, a correction must be specified to obtain accurate measurements.
