Abstract
A modular digital optical gunsight (MDOG) peripheral module validation device includes an MDOG data connector configured to connect to an MDOG peripheral module and to receive and/or transmit MDOG data in a first format to or from the MDOG peripheral module, a translation module configured to translate the MDOG data in the first format to a second format that is compatible with a personal computer (PC), and a PC data connector configured to connect the validation device to a PC and to receive and/or transmit the MDOG data in the second format to the PC. The translation module can be configured to translate data in the second format to the first format.
Claims18
A modular digital optical gunsight (MDOG) peripheral module validation device, comprising:
- an MDOG data connector configured to connect to an MDOG peripheral module and to receive and/or transmit MDOG data in a first format to or from the MDOG peripheral module;
- a translation module configured to translate the MDOG data in the first format to a second format that is compatible with a personal computer (PC);
- and
- a PC data connector configured to connect the validation device to a PC and to receive and/or transmit the MDOG data in the second format to the PC.
A method for validating a modular digital optical gunsight (MDOG) peripheral module, comprising:
- receiving MDOG data at an MDOG peripheral module validation device from an MDOG peripheral module of an MDOG optical rail in a first format via an MDOG data connector;
- translating the MDOG data in the first format to a second format that is compatible with a personal computer (PC) at a translation module;
- and
- transmitting data in the second format to the PC from the MDOG peripheral module validation device via a PC data connector that connects the MDOG peripheral validation device to the PC.
