ENGLISH below.

Hallo,

Die neue Firmware 1.7.1 wurde nun veröffentlicht.

Anleitung zur Installation: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=19186 (Je nach aktueller Version kann es nötig sein, das Update zweimal zu starten. Der OSTC4 oder 5 gibt dazu nach dem Update nötigenfalls eine Meldung aus. Grund ist, dass möglicherweise auch sehr alte Teile der Firmware wie der Schriftsatz und der Bootloader aktualisiert werden.)

Wir emfehlen ein Update über die Apps OSTConf (iOS) oder HWOS Config (Android)

Manual on how to install: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=19186

(Depending on your current version it may be required to start the update twice. The OSTC4 or 5 will show you a message after the update if this is required. Reason is, that this update also may update some older parts of the firmware like the font table and the bootloader).

To update, simply use one of our two apps OSTConf for iOS or HWOS Config for Android.

Folgende Änderungen und Neuerungen gibt es seit der V 1.6.5:
The following changes have been made since V 1.6.5:
NEW: Add settings that have been missing in the bluetooth API: flip display, compass declination
NEW: Improve buzzer opreation (OSTC 5): In the previous version the buzzer was operated in case
warning events. In the new version the buzzer is inactive in surface mode in order to prevent
annoying warning just because e.g. the sensors are not connected.
FIX: A factory reset of the settings could lead to a corruption of the profile view of the log entries
because the storage pointer was reset as well. This has been corrected together with the
default settings of the cviews and the OSTC5 customer name.
NEW: Added dual operation of scrubber timers: In the previous version only one scrubber timer
could be selected for operation. In the new version the activation of both timers is possible.
In that case both timers will be displayed as well. To enable this a new activation item has
been added to the scrubber menu.
NEW: New Tab for dynamic configuration: since more and more functions are added to the OSTC
the space in the menus is getting short. To avoid problems a new Tab within the SYS menu
has been added which shall focus an functions / views which are configuration dependend.
In future this menu may have dynamic content dependend on which views are active or
which sensors are connected. The Cview for compass and Timer have been moved to the
new tab in the first step
FIX: Minor modification activ gas indicator: On the main screen the active gas is visualized by a
number and a box around it.The box as well as the number started at coordinate 0
resultiong of a very close drawing of box and number. To improve this a small gap
is added between box and number and the box itself was enlarged. With the OSTC5
a problem with the pixel sync was solfed which caused the first column to not be drawn.
NEW: Improve compass calibration dialog: The previous calibration dialog showed some "magic"
numbers and a 60 second count down. The new version is trying to guide the user through
the calibration process: first rotate pitch, then roll and at last yaw angle. A step to
the next angle is taken when enough data per angle is collected (change from red to green).
To enable the yaw visualization a simple calibration is done while rotating the axis.
NEW: Support for Solid-State CO2 sensors and multiple Solid-State O2 Sensors
NEW: Key lock in buttons menu. If enabled, press the button with the blue rectangle until the button texts are displayed
NEW: The depth value in the will now be colored based on the current ascent speed. The color code matches the one of
the bar graph which was already used for visualization of the ascent speed. To keep color code consistent the
existing color selection functions have been merged to one common Gfx function (T3/T7 - bar graph and color text)
NEW: Add a 'Reverse' action to the compass heading dive menu. This allows the compass heading to be
reversed for the return leg of the dive - as a bonus the reversal will be logged, establishing at
which point in the log the dive was turned
CHG: Use "Work" for Travel gases
CHG: Language updates
NEW: Navigation in internal logbook improved
Fix: VPM code improvements, VPM table mode added: 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 continuously 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
NEW: Support for OSTC 5 hardware added
NEW: Multi-Purpose Timer function added
Fix: In flipped mode some visualization did not match the non flipped version.
Fix: Bugfix external interface power up after sleep:
The previous implementation did not consider if the external power was enabled of not before sleep
(the power was later enabled by sensor handling). The power is now activated immediately
after leaving sleep in order to avoid delays in sensor startup.
Fix: Improved mix mode ADC conversion:
Activity of UART sensors may have an impact to ADC measurement. To avoid the ADC trigger
was moved into a time window ~300ms after last UART command request => After UART
sensor performed measurement but before next measurement is requested. In addition
the general ADC measurement cycle has been changed to one second to avoid jitter in the
value updates on the display.
NEW: Two independent scrubber Timers added
NEW: Add a line to the compass heading dive menu that shows the currently set heading to enable the
diver to confirm it / add it to notes. Also add a log entry every time a new compass heading
is set or the heading is cleared. And add a way to add compass headings to the log without
changing the currently set heading - this was added after discussion with cave divers who are
interested in recording headings when mapping out caves.
CHG: Increase brightness for inactive gases to improve readability in the OSTC 5.
Fix: Bugfix ppo2 high/low check in OC mode: The fallback option which is used in CC
mode was applied to the OC mode as well. As result the check could be deactivated
depending on the fallback state, even if a OC dive is performed. now the check will always
be performed if the dive mode is OC.
CHG: Changed menu name O2 Sensors to External Sensors:
Meanwhile not only O2 sensors may be connected using the external interface (e.g. CO2
sensors) => renamed menu to avoid confusions.
NEW: Support for external MUX on the digital interface (OSTC 4/5 with S8-Bulkhead only). This
allows the use multiple Solid-State and analog Sensors simultaneously
