Target Control Manager (TCM for short) is a turning target
software product that is currently ported for the OnTrak ADR1000 controller
card used by several target system vendors. Currently, these vendors are
creating their own software that is designed for Combat and Law Enforcement
training, and none have addressed the needs of the Bullseye, ISSF or PPC
competitive shooters. Until now.
The TCM software was designed for the
sole purpose of the competitive shooter, and we have already created
competition events for Bullseye, ISSF and PPC matches. But the competitor can
create and save their own events easily from within the software. We,
additionally, have created some Kids Games as well, which are used at the
Freeport R&R Association Junior Program ( www.FreeportJuniorClub.org ). All
of these events are included with the software and we encourage competitors to
create and send us their events for inclusion with our software.
The TCM
software is currently at version 1.2 and the software boasts Easy to
use for the non-computer oriented person, User friendliness,
Simple installation with Simple un-installation leaving
only the created event files, Simple to program competition events
for non-technical types and virtually no setup or configuration. Of
course, we offer support for registered users.
The TCM system
requirements are simple. For now, the range installation must have a targeting
system that utilizes the OnTrak ADR1000 adapter, and the computer requirements
are really basic, as the software will run on any PC with at least a P3
processor, or equivalent, only 512Mb RAM, a Serial Port and either Windows XP
Pro, Windows XP Home or Windows 2000.
The TCM software only has two
RUNNING MODES. The MANUAL mode permits the direct control of the targets, while
the RUN mode permits the running of predefined or user created competition
events. Of course, there is a simple editor function so that a competitor can
create and edit their own, or the pre-defined, competition events.
