What is the difference between the Weavebird Loom Driver and Weave-Lec the free driver program that Leclerc includes with the Weavebird looms?
Both programs can open a WIF weaving draft file and then control the Weavebird loom to weave. The big difference between the two is that the Weavebird Loom Driver presents the user with an onscreen display of the complete weaving draft and clearly indicates which pick is being currently woven. This full display allows the weaver to monitor their weaving process without having to jump back to the design program to figure out where they are. In addition it ensures that the weaver does not accidently select and start weaving the wrong draft. Like Weave-Lec, the Weavebird Loom Driver also includes a “detail” window showing the harnesses that should be raised in the current pick as well as the last and next few picks. Having both the “draft view” and the “current pick view” windows makes the program really a standalone loom driver. In addition, the Weavebird Loom Driver can open up native .DTX draft files from Fibreworks PCW as well as WIF files, works on almost all versions of the Windows
