2.10 USING THE AIM LASERS (Continued)

Pattern Generators

Five different Pattern Generators are supplied with the

ATPIAL for command and control purposes. When

individually installed over the Aim Lasers, they project a

specific holographic design over the aim point of the laser.

The shapes are visible with the naked eye if using the Visible

Aim Laser, and with night vision devices if using the IR Aim

Laser. The Pattern Generators may only be used one at a

time and may not be used in conjunction with the Aim

Neutral Density / Opaque Lens Cap. See Figures 2-15 and

2-16.

2.11 USING THE IR ILLUMINATOR

Modes of operation for the IR Illuminator are selected and

activated as described in sections 2.8 and 2.9, respectively.

Beam Size

To focus the beam of the IR Illuminator, rotate the Focus

Ring until the desired beam size is obtained. Direction of

rotation to achieve maximum divergence (flood) and

minimum divergence (spot) is clearly labeled on the ATPIAL

housing (see Figure 2-18).
