 #
 # Module: radmonAgent.py
 #
 # Description: This module acts as an agent between the radiation monitoring device
 # and the Internet web server.  The agent periodically sends an http request to the
 # radiation monitoring device and processes the response from the device and performs
 # a number of operations:
 #     - conversion of data items
 #     - update a round robin (rrdtool) database with the radiation data
 #     - periodically generate graphic charts for display in html documents
 #     - forward the radiation data to other services
 #     - write the processed weather data to a JSON file for use by html documents
