!
This is a major feature release update.
NEW
Configurable Mini displays have been added. These
allow up to 3 displays to be shown in the area
normally used for 1 display, although at a smaller font
size.
Two Mini display sets can be configured. The set
configurations are separate for the tec modes (OC
Tec, CC/BO) and the rec modes (Air, Nitrox, 3 GasNx).
