SECTION V

OPERATION UNDER UNUSUAL CONDITIONS

2.27 SHUTTERLESS CALIBRATION

Shutterless calibrations are performed without the use of the

LWTS’ internal shutter and are silent. They are performed

with the objective lens cover installed and must, therefore,

be manually initiated.

NOTE

Failure to cover the objective lens prior to initiating

a shutterless calibration may result in a distorted

picture or the presence of ghost images in the

eyepiece display.

Shutterless calibrations are initiated by simultaneously

pressing the - sides of both the GAIN/EL and LVL/WND

rocker switches. A shutterless calibration may be manually

initiated any time the system menus are not displayed,

regardless of whether AUTO CAL ON or AUTO CAL OFF is

activated via the Main Menu (see section 2.19).

2.28 PBIT FAIL

The LWTS is equipped with Built-In Test (BIT) software that

continually queries internal components and circuitry to

ensure that the device is operating properly. If the BIT

software detects a problem, a System Failure Indicator

(PBIT FAIL) will be displayed in the upper left corner of the

eyepiece display as shown in Figure 2-35.
