Added center / right alignment option to custom text display: Per default custom text was shown left aligned. Using '^' for center and '?' for right alignment the display of the custom text may now be improved. For proper operation the alignment had to be set to common handling mode and the blank characters had to be removed from the transmitted string. To avoid display of special strings (e.g. multilanguage) the write text via com interface will now block special characters

# How to Make an Uploadable Firmware File for the OSTC4 #

Generated BIN files from the SMT32 Workbench need modification in order to be installed via the OSTC Companion onto the OSTC4. 

## Build Command Line Tools ##

These can be found in /ostc4pack (For Windows, CPP sources available)

## Run the Tools Manually ##

1. Copy generated BIN files (From the Release or debug directory) into /ostc4pack. Or: Modify .bat files to point to your Release or debug directory.
2. run step1_create_OSTC_RTE_upload.bat and/or step1_create_OSTC4_firmware_upload_bin.bat (Depending on which part you made changes)
3. run step2_create_OSTC4update_bin.bat to create final OSTC4update_xxxxxx.bin, with xxxxxx being the current date in YYMMDD format. This will add important checksums required for the OSTC4's bootloader to accept the file.
