The channels using multiplexed connections will appear under Unmapped channels if the Site filter is set to All sites, but will not display the pin names from the pin map. Workaround: There is currently no known workaround for this issue.

Installing a Previous Version of InstrumentStudio Causes All Project Files to Open With the Most Recently Installed VersionProject files will open with the most recently installed version of InstrumentStudio. For example, if you install InstrumentStudio 2020, create and save projects in that version, and then install InstrumentStudio 2019, the project files created in InstrumentStudio 2020 will open by default with InstrumentStudio 2019. InstrumentStudio projects and documents are not backward-compatible, so the project will give an error saying that it failed to load.
Workaround: Change the Windows file association for .instudioproj files to the latest version or repair the InstrumentStudio installation with the desired default project version.
