    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does the software work with older LABA7 Scotch-Yoke dynos?

    LABA7 Shock Dyno Software v2 requires a 6th-generation data logger board, which became standard in units produced after early 2023. If your dyno has an older data logger, you can upgrade to the v6 board for full compatibility. Contact support@laba7.com to verify your setup or arrange an upgrade.

    How do automatic updates and beta releases work?

    Since version 2.2.0, the software updates automatically in the background, ensuring you always run the latest stable release. If you prefer to test new features early, you can opt into beta updates through the software settings. You remain in control and can switch back to stable releases at any time.

    What are the minimum system requirements?

    The software runs on Windows 8 and newer (including Windows 10 and 11). An internet connection is recommended for automatic updates. No proprietary hardware dongles are required—just connect your compatible LABA7 shock dyno.

    Can I import data files from other shock dyno brands?

    Yes. LABA7 Shock Dyno Software supports third-party file imports, including data exported from Roehrig shock dyno software and other major brands.
