Release Notes for PC SDK 2024.4

General

The release name is PC SDK 2024.4 and the build number is 24.4.11080.0. The build date is January 14, 2025.

Improvements

Improved performance of IOSystem.GetSignals()

Previously, using IOSystem.GetSignals() to retrieve signals from a controller with many signals could take many seconds or even minutes because of an extra roundtrip to the controller for each signal. The number of roundtrips to the controller has been greatly reduced, resulting in a significant performance boost for IOSystem.GetSignals().
