Added selection if an active gas shall be used for deco calculation or not: In previous version selecting a gas as deco gas automatically activated the gas for deco calculation. Some divers prever to have the deco time displayed which matches to the gas currently in use. These divers kept the gas deactivated unless they switch to it. Features like gas usability visualization or easy gas change using quick selection were not usable for these divers. With introduction of the new option the gas switching / visualization features may be used without having the gas been considered for calculation in the background. The option may be operated in the gas selection menu.

# 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 ##
