------------------------------------------
Improvements and Changes：
------------------------------------------
Bug fixed：
1. Fixed a problem that Axis Studio did not save the parameter settings from the last export.
2. Fixed a crash problem if the MocapApi client uesd an invalid IP address when sending commands to the Axis Studio server.
------------------------------------------
Known Issues:
1. Axis Studio may fail to check device Firmware in some certain cases and that will prevent device being firmware upgraded.
Workaround：Turn off two sensors(right upleg and hip) and on again manually and then recheck firmware.
2. Hardware fault error may occur sometimes which usually in the form of sensors connection failure or being abnormal indicator lights.
Workaround: Turn it off and on again mannually.
3. Data process algorithm of v2.6 and later is not compatible with the motion capture data recorded in previous version.
Thumb motion data generated from previous version will be wrong after data processing in v2.6
4. Space locked scenario doesn't take effect after Data processing.
5. When upgrading sensor firmware Axis Studio sometimes will indicate sensors in low battery but actually all sensors are fully charged
Workaround: Try to reconnect or check again can solve this error checking problom.
6. 3rd Party software running Screen Word Fetching function may cause Axis Studio crash while opening files
7. Ctrl + A shortcut only works for X-Ray function
8. Resize Axis Studio window while viewport is split screen mode may cause wrong window size issue
9. Display frame rate of Axis Studio may decrease if MotionBuilder is running on the same computer at the same time
Workaround: Mobu >System ProfilingCenter >Evaluation select Always refresh view.
10. Using external time code , there is 1-2 frame error
11. When running the software on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 or higher graphics cards and dragging/extending Axis Studio main window to another monitor, 3D rendering may not work or Axis Studio may crash.
12. When running Axis Studio on most integrated graphics cards, the model will display abnormally.
13. When using the acquisition frequency of 96Hz to connect to the PNS Plus device first and then upgrade the firmware, Axis Studio will report an error when querying the firmware, making it impossible to upgrade the firmware
Workaround: Sleep current devicce and then go to upgrade frimware again.
