VPM table mode: Because of the model maths, usage of float data type and so on it may happen that the TTS decreases during ascent and continues calculation of the vpm. To keep the values stable the vpm table mode has been introduces. Instead of continously calculation of the stops the stop time is decreased if the diver is close to a deco stop. If the table is violated (e.g. by not doing gas change) the table will be updated to the new, longer runtime. The table will not be switch back to a shorter version in case e.g. the missed gas change is performed

# 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 ##
