Using Weather-Display in Client Mode

This FAQ describes how to set up Weather-Display to run as a stationless client using data from another Weather-Display system. The clientraw.txt datafile can either be uploaded to a webserver or be on a drive accessible via a network by the client machine. The set up of the source system to upload the clientraw.txt file to a webserver is described in another FAQ here http://discourse.weather-watch.com/t/10872
