Steve, what rebreather are you diving?
Poseidon MkVI is the only CCR that I know of that natively logs cylinder 
pressures. I assume this is purely an issue to download a Petrel dive 
into a CCR dive.
We deal with Petrel logs used with APD Inspiration CCRs here, and of 
course there are no cylinder pressure data because they are neither 
measured nor recorded. As far as I am aware the display worked ok at 
least until very recently.

Would it be possible to make certain that this is not an OSTC software 
upgrade problem, since it used to work ok? In a nutshell, proper CCR 
representation is dependent on having the appropriate information (e.g. 
setpoint, O2 sensors, and cylinder pressure) in the dive log that is 
downloaded. Once the data are there, it is a relatively easy problem of 
parsing it into the existing Subsurface data fields and rendering it.
