Loom Software
Many software providers have developed drivers for the AVL Compu-Dobby.
Make sure the software you choose will correctly run your Compu-Dobby
version and number of harnesses.
AVL offers a feature rich design and loom control program for Windows
computers:
WeavePoint
. It comes with the exact loom driver needed to run
the Compu-Dobby with your number of harnesses. You can download a
demo of WeavePoint at http://www.weavepoint.com/.
You will need to setup the software to communicate with your Compu-
Dobby. Please refer to the manual for the software you’ve chosen for help
with this.
