TempoWeave currently supports the Louet Dobby looms. It is on our roadmap to support other dobby looms.

On the tools menu, there are two options for Dobby. The Dobby icon takes you into the dobby screen, where you can configure the port for your loom and weave the draft that is currently loaded.

The Prepare Threading WIF simply takes the threading, allows treadling the threading. Especially on high-shaft dobby looms, raising the shafts one-by-one as you thread helps avoid mistakes.
