WIF
Weaving Interface File. This weaving draft file format is supported
by all third party weaving software (ProWeave, Fiberworks,
PixeLoom etc.) and is also used by Dobby 2.0., enabling you to
exchange drafts between weaving software programs and the
Dobby.
Each weave pattern file with the lift plan for the Dobby are stored in
a WIF-file. This is a computer file type that can be created and read
by all weaving software. The weave pattern in the WIF-file must be
stored in the lift plan format.

pick. In weaving mode, it is the actual pick. The active pick number
is in the square at the right side.
By entering another number in this active pick field, you can jump
to another active pick.
Weaving

The weaving history contains all picks that have been woven. A
woven pick is stored after pushing and releasing the treadle. The
software will remember the last 1000 picks.
