DataCollector

The datacollector is running on the datacollector where the weatherstations is connected directly via USB. The datacollector will collect the data from the sensors (data source plugins) and will submit the data to the loaded output plugins (data sink plugins).

Details

The datacollector reads data from data source plugins and sends it to data sink plugins.
