Known limitations of the current Beta version:
- CTC-PAL does not support overlapped samples. During uninstallation it locks on removing the CTC-SDK folder (install next version without uninstalling).
- There is a temporary listbox for selection of integration algorithm between old (3.0 or older) and new (4.0) version.
- The calibration files created or edited in this version could not be opened in previous versions
