Message 7 consists of four lines. METAR present weather codes are
output on the second and third lines. These lines are not of fixed
length because METAR codes can be combined in many ways. The
METAR codes may also be left out but the lines of the message are
always terminated by a carriage return and line feed characters.
The background luminance value displays the measured luminance in
cd/m², if the Vaisala LM11 Background Luminance Meter is attached
to the FD12P (option FD12PLM11). If a day/night switch is
connected to the processor board, the background luminance value
displays the switch state (1 = day, 0 = night).
