ARMY TM 9-1290-365-24&P CHAPTER 2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CHAPTER CONTENTS Subject Page General ................................................................................................................................... 2-1 MV Min/Max Range ................................................................................................................ 2-1 2.1. GENERAL. The M93 MVS operates as a slave to the M109A6 Paladin Automatic Fire Control System (AFCS), and as such exchanges data across the MIL-STD-1553B Data Bus. The operator indirectly controls the MVS by issuing commands to the AFCS. The purpose of this section is to explain the various MVS associated activities available when running the AFCS software. In what follows, reference is made to the Version 11 Software Upgrade (TM 9-2350-314-10), henceforth referred to as the Paladin TM. See the Paladin TM, Para 2-22 for M93 MVS operating procedures, and to Appendix K for troubleshooting procedures. 2.2. MV MIN/MAX RANGE The MVS must receive a minimum MV/maximum MV range in order to measure properly. If actual MVS to be measured do not fall in this range, the MVS will not be able to measure the MV properly. The AFCS transmits the MV min/max range to the MVS based on the projectile/propellant/charge combination, which the operator selects when entering the ammunition data. If the actual ammunition fired does not match the data entered into the AFCS, the MVS most likely will return measurement errors. Refer to Paladin TM for operating instructions of proper MV setting. 2-1/(2-2 blank)
