# 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
