=== How it fits with the existing inteface ===
The AI has been developed as an '''
As said above, the AI includes all the same resources needed to view the data being generated by your website; to configure your station and to edit data should errors occur.
*The '''Header''' and '''Footer''' are both fixed by default. This can be changed by you if required.
*The '''Menu''' has been adapted to take less space but includes a button to return to the default '''Interface''' pages.
**I have also
*The header area is now better at being responsive on small screens - reducing in size to give you more space for your data on small screens.
=====Viewing generated data=====
*The '''Dashboard''' page
**The '''Sun and Moon''' rise & setting times are displayed in a popup; again using the button in the page title bar.
**The Temperature, Pressure, Winds & Rain panels will flash when a new record is set
**For those users with Davis weather stations, you can see '''Packets''' data, '''CRC errors''' and the percentage failure rate.<br/>I have found that this last piece of info. is a good indicator for when the battery needs changing. This option toggles across sessions so if you hide them they stay hidden until you choose to view them again.
*The '''Charts''' pages
**All charts can be zoomed, i.e., you can swipe the mouse over parts of the chart to view readings in detail.
*The '''NOAA''' pages
**Both pages have been amended so that the required report loads when a date is selected.
*'''Extra Sensors'''
**These pages use flex boxes and as such it is possible to rearrange them on the page simply by changing their 'order' number in the html code.
*The '''Data Logs''' pages
**These now all have fixed columns for line number and date
**All pages automatically load data when the pages open.▼
=====Management and Setup Menus=====
**Some cosmetic changes have been made to the popup editor panel.
▲**All pages automatically load data when the pages open.
▲**The '''Readings Logs''' and '''Extra Data Logs''' pages display the last 7 days of entries but this can be changed using the popup calendar.<br/>These tables also display metric units for all appropriate data. If you use other units then you will need to edit the three html files. (Details are in the 'readme' file included in the download).
*The '''Settings''' Menu<br/>This menu provides access to the same pages as in the default system although some have been redesigned
**The '''MySQL Settings''' page has been made into two columns.
**The '''rain editor''' is now much narrower and the shading on read-only entries made more obvious.
**'''Weather Conditions Editor'''
***This is a new page that combines the old ''Current Conditions'' & ''Weather Diary'' pages.<br/>The original pages are
*The four '''Edit Records...''' pages
**These are
*The '''
**This inludes FTP, Purge database, Reload the Dayfile, Custom logs and 'AI Settings'.
**The FTP and Dayfile options load the same page with both options available.
**Enables you to change the status of the header and footer from static to scrolling - either or both.▼
**
**'AI Settings...' gives you access to the various theme colour styles available.<br/>To view the them on this page use the appropriate button or selecting 'Use for all pages' will make the change permenantly.
**You also have the option to reset the theme to the default.
