MarkerTalk Launcher

MarkerTalk Launcher is a tray application used to run the MarkerTalk applications; Setup, Trainer and Analyzer. When you connect your marker to the USB port and turn-on your marker, the application buttons will turn from a grayed state to a colored state allowing you to select an application to run. When complete, the Launcher dialog can be minimized; returning it to the Window tray area of your display. Simply double-click the yellow paintball splat in the tray and the launcher will open and be waiting for a marker connection.

MarkerTalk Setup

MarkerTalk Setup is the main program for defining the board settings. The Setup dialog allows you to quickly and easily check you battery level, turn on/off your led and configure settings for trigger, solenoid, power and battery. Once complete, simply load the configuration into the marker board and you are ready to play. You can also save your configuration into a file on your computer allowing you to create a library of configuration files for different types and fields of play. The reset button allows you to quickly return the board to the default factory settings.You can share your configuration files with friends and teammates simply by providing them a copy of your configuration file.

MarkerTalk Trainer

The MarkerTalk Trainer program is designed to increase your trigger dexterity and to be used as a method for tuning the performance of your marker. Challenge yourself or friends to a game of trigger dance. After each game the results are displayed with averages. When your friends are not around turn the barker on and see if you can avoid the insults. Playing paintball makes you better and MarkerTalk Trainer can help you get there quicker! When the game starts the shot dialog opens to show you real-time ROF being achieved. The dialog shows a count-down timer and the total number of shots fired.

MarkerTalk Analyst

MarkerTalk Analyzer is designed to retrieve usage statistics for review. Although Analyzer is shipped with the suite of applications it will not operate unless an optional memory board is installed. MarkerTalk Analyzer is an invaluable tool for understanding and reviewing very important game play information such as; paint usage, shot consistency, marker operation and most importantly team strategy. The optional memory board is the first optional board to be released for the WARBOARDS marker boards. The memory module allows the user to record marker events which can then be reviewed and analyzed at a later time. While not required, the memory module adds additional erasable memory which is battery backed with an onboard rechargeable battery. The memory module is currently available in 3 different memory sizes; 128Kb, 256Kb, and 512Kb. The 128Kb module stores approximately 500 events with the 512Kb version providing approximately 2000 events.
