weather [url=?, interval=?]

Configure the parameters that control weather-station readouts.

Optional Arguments:
HttpUrl url
The URL of the XML page that displays the latest weather statistics.
Double interval
The interval between weather updates (hours).

Examples:
The following example tells the control system to read weather information from the XML page of the Owen's Valley weather station, every 10 seconds.
  weather url="http://wx.cm.pvt/latestsampledata.xml", interval=0:0:10
Context:
The control system needs up to date weather information, in order to be able to correct for atmospheric refraction. The weather command can be used to tell it the XML page at which the weather station places these statistics and the interval between readouts. Currently the weather station must be a Capricorn 2000EX plus MicroServer from Columbia Weather systems.

Note that at startup, a default readout interval of 30 seconds is used.
