Both FlowView and Frame Details will now auto refresh when reopened. But, also there is a new interface that allows the various screens to get status updates. This is currently only active in the Frame Details screen and not completely yet but it is started and functional.

 Things currently broken or in need of attention:
-1. Need to standardize application where things might differ. All byte and bit references
-should be 0-7 not 1-8. All timings should be in microseconds.
-2. The windows that deal with canbus data should update based on incoming frames. It should not be required to load files to use these windows
-3. Test CRTD output to make sure it saves properly now
-4. Screens like flowview seem to sometimes stick with the old data after you've already cleared and loaded a different file
-5. Each screen should mention which file is loaded so that it's easier to keep track of what you're doing.
