LABA7 Shock Dyno Software (v2)

We developed our second-gen analysis software entirely in-house to give mechanics and suspension tuners clean, actionable data. It pairs directly with our shock dyno and EMA damper test systems to capture high-resolution force and velocity graphs in real time.

We built this software for fast operation in high-volume workshops, allowing you to import third-party files, control temperature limits, and automate test procedures without guessing.

LABA7 Shock Dyno Software

System Requirements & Compatibility

This software runs natively on standard Windows machines. You do not need proprietary dongles or specialized computer hardware to operate the interface.

OS Requirement Windows 8, 10, or 11
Network Active connection recommended for updates
Hardware Support EMA damper test system & 6th-gen Scotch-Yoke

 

Note on older hardware:

Fully compatible with 6th-generation data logger boards (standard in all units produced after early 2023). Older Scotch-Yoke test benches require a physical data logger upgrade for full v2 software compatibility. Contact support@laba7.com to verify your system.

Core Interface & Diagnostic Features

We optimized the testing workflow to eliminate repetitive setup tasks. The software features automatic stroke change detection, self-calibration, and built-in collision detection to prevent damper damage during improper installations.

Software Licensing & Setup

The software is completely free of charge. We include the full Windows application license with every test bench purchase. We do not require recurring subscriptions, and we do not charge for standard updates.

Your purchase also includes one-on-one online onboarding to ensure your technicians are up to speed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the software work with older LABA7 test benches?

Version 2 requires a 6th-generation data logger board (standard in units produced after early 2023). If your machine has an older data logger, you must upgrade the hardware board for full compatibility. Contact support@laba7.com to verify your setup or arrange an upgrade.

 

How do automatic updates and beta releases work?

Starting with version 2.2.0, the software updates automatically in the background to ensure you are running the latest stable release. If you want early access to new diagnostic features, you can manually switch to the beta channel in the settings menu.

 

Can I import data files from other manufacturers?

Yes. We built the software to support third-party file imports, meaning you can open and analyze legacy data exported from Roehrig and other older systems.
