X-Gen configurator
The Windows configurator for the 10th generation. Change tagger settings online with no extra hardware, record sounds, update firmware and show real-time statistics on any screen.
How it works
-
Switch on the game sets
The taggers join your Wi-Fi router; the configurator finds every tagger in range.
-
Change settings online
More than 30 performance characteristics are available, and you can set up several weapons at once.
-
Launch the game
Start a new scenario in three clicks.
-
Follow it live
Statistics stream in real time to a TV, monitor or tablet; print or publish them afterwards.
Built on the X-Core module
X-Generation is built around the X-Core module, designed for the 10th generation: 802.11n Wi-Fi at 2.4 GHz plus Bluetooth 4.2 BR/EDR and BLE, transferring data at up to 150 Mbps. Writing weapon settings takes a fraction of a second, and sound recording and software updates are many times faster.
The configurator also shows the charge level of taggers and headbands, so nothing goes into a game flat.
Sound and effects
-
1098 studio sounds
18 combinations of sounds for every game situation, in Russian and English plus themed sets for characters.
-
Ready-made presets
Nine sound presets in English and Russian, plus a preset with the sounds of weapon classes only: pistol, machine gun, assault rifle and more.
-
Your own sounds
Replace a single sound without rewriting the whole package. Files: WAV, 11025 Hz, 8 bit, mono. Recording is twice as fast as in the 9th-generation software.

Questions
The taggers do not appear in the program. What should I do?
Check that the Wi-Fi network name set in the taggers matches the network your router provides. If your computer has no built-in Bluetooth, add a Bluetooth adapter.
How do I keep the app up to date?
Turn on automatic app updates in your Microsoft Store account settings.
How is firmware updated?
First clear the tagger’s game statistics with a command from the remote control or the USB base. Then reflash the Wi-Fi module, then the tagger and the headband, in that order: skipping the sequence can cost functionality.
How many scenarios are there?
13 scenarios come with the configurator, and you can modify any of them.
Where can statistics be published?
To VKontakte and Facebook; a PDF copy is saved too.
