Subsurface deco calculations

My version is 2 weeks old, no internet during the cruise. Indeed the ostc was set to cylinder 1, that was configured as ean32, the only cylinder in use. Are we not getting that info correctly from ostc or are we merging this wrongly? All DCs were set to 32%.

BTW was on liveaboard with no land visits..

The problem is that the xml references a cylinder with index 1, but you only have one cylinder defined (index 0), so it looks (without checking the code) like Subsurface is assuming any undefined cylinder contains air.
