Added slow exit timer function: At the end of the dive the final ascent to surface should be done slowly. The new function provides a comparison of the current divers depth compared to a linear ascent simulated by the OSTC. The visualization is shown instead of the ascent speed with a little different appearance. The linear ascent is starting from the last stop depth and the time for the ascent may be configurated in the deco settings. The simulated and real peth is compared and the depth color changes based on the difference of the values. In case the diver is much below the timer depth then the timer will stop and wait for the diver to follow.

# 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 ##
