Use Case: Reconfigure

Stimulus: the control system sends a reconfiguration command specifying new settings (e.g., data collection frequency, instrument parameters); Response: the weather station acknowledges the command, applies the new configuration, and returns to its normal operating state

Explanation

The Reconfigure use case is initiated by the Control system (Actor), which sends commands specifying new configuration parameters such as data collection frequency or instrument settings. The weather station responds by acknowledging the command, reconfiguring itself (transitioning through the Configuring state in the state machine), and then returning to normal operation. The state diagram confirms reconfiguration is only allowed from the Shutdown state before returning to Running.
