The MS Instruments PLC
Pressure Measurement Unit is a compact, sealed unit which - in
conjunction with the Timer Unit type 817 - is an integrated unit
used to gather data for complete ballistics analysis. Typically,
it is used for Electronic Pressure Velocity and Action Time (EPVAT)
measurements, however it can be configured in a number of
different ways to act as a multi-purpose data-gathering unit.
The data is then passed to a Range Processor where it is
displayed using BALLISTIC software.
The Range
Processor runs Windows operating systems and the BALLISTIC
software is a Windows program. This allows simple data exchange
and provides data in standard Excel/ Access file formats. Having
the standard user-interface that is typical in the Windows
operating system gives a rapid familiarity with the software and
consequent reduction in training requirements.
Initial data entry is
straightforward and quick and the software is self-arming,
allowing largely hands-free operation during use. All data is
safely logged to disk after each round.
This unit
has been developed to combine the many useful, individual
properties of MSI instrumentation. The resulting sophisticated
and versatile product can be utilised in the measurement of
velocity and rate of fire of a projectile; port and chamber
pressure within the weapon and the action time. Other timing and
data logging functions can also be provided.
Two digital
Charge Amplifiers are fitted to ensure that all instrument
settings are set electronically and recorded with the data for
optimum data integrity.
