Operation in the RNG1/RNG2 mode is described below:
(1) The operator visually locates the target.
(2) The operator acquires and tracks the target on the LD/R crosshairs.
(3) The operator triggers the LD/R.
(4) The LD/R receives the reflected return pulse and calculates the range.

G/VLLD Range Finding.
(5) The operator then reads the polar coordinate data in the display.
The
polar coordinate data may also be relayed by the digital message device (DMD).
The
DMD allows a direct radio tie-in with the field communications network.
c. DES Mode. In the DES mode, the G/VLLD designates a target by providing a
laser spot for the laser-seeking ordnance to home in on. Figure 1-11 illustrates
the target designation application of the G/VLLD.
Operation in the DES mode is as follows:
(1) The operator visually locates the target.
(2) The operator acquires and tracks the target with the LD/R crosshairs.
