Bugfix: Set actual gas after basic dive settings were created: Previous version showed unexpected warnings (ppo2 low) and deco data in simulator mode in case the dive mode had been changed before (e.g. from CCR to OC). Root cause was the update of the gas list before basic settings were set in the divesettings. To solve this the gas selection function has been moved behind the section initializing the gas variables.

# 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 ##
