Bugfixes and code cleanup for BF views: BF views gauge and apnoe were using "dive computer" T3 view functions which caused some problem because these legacy views were not intended to work with customer view selection. A switch condition has been added to skip these kind of functions in case a design other T3 is in use. Another potential problem was that there were two definitions for T3 and T7 views which were basically the same. If they wold not be the same the switching functionality wold not work properly. To avoid this problem in futur the arrays have been merged => the view are handled sing the (newer) cv_view arrays instead of the standard_views which were in used before the user could the views which should be shown.

# 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.

## Upload this file with the OSTC Companion software to the OSTC4 ##
