Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for indicating on a video
display unit (22) the status of a plurality of targets
(10) on a target range system and for controlling the
operation thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the video
display unit (22) comprises a variable image display
unit which can be a cathode ray tube (CRT) which is
responsive to a computer processing unit (CPU) (40)
which sequentially and periodically interrogates each
target mechanism (38) to determine its functional status
and whether it has been «hit». This information can
be displayed in many different formats although in a
preferred embodiment, a number of banks und lanes of
targets are provided on the CRT which correspond to
the bank and lanes of targets as laid out on the range.
Further, the total hits for all targets in each lane are
displayed on the screen along with a fault indication
if necessary. Substantial improvements and the reli
ability and maintainability of target range control sys
tems are achieved by the use of the CRT-equipped
video display unit (22) in combination with the CPU
(40). In further preferred embodiments, all targets in an
individual bank provide information to a field equipment
module (FEM) (16) for that bank which then provides
the information to a computer peripheral device (30)
which converts the information to a form usable by
the CPU. Additionally, the range may be controlled in
a manual, automatic or semiautomatic mode and target
status information along with lane scores provided in a
permanent manner by means of a peripheral printer
(42).
