Adds a simple countdown timer, available as a custom view in surface and dive mode. This can be used to time safety stops, or to prebreathe a CCR (or to boil your breakfast eggs if you are so inclined). The duration of the timer is configurable from 1 second to 9:59 minutes in the System menu. The timer is started by switching to the custom view, and remaining on it until a 10 second delay has elapsed. Once the timer has started the custom view can be changed and the timer will continue running in the background. After the timer has run out 'Finished' will be shown for 10 seconds in the timer custom view, and then automatic switching of custom views (if configured) resumes. In surface mode the dive computer will not go to sleep while the timer is running, and a mini timer will be shown when the timer custom view is not showing. (mikeller)

# 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 ##
