M1-series tank, Bradley, Paladin, LRAS3
and DSESTS’ SLV software are slated to
become compatible with Windows 7 OS by
March 2014 and Stryker by March 2015.
The EMS-2 viewing software has not
been supported or updated since December
2011.
If your MSD V2 has not been updated
since you received it, contact TMDE to
request updated software.
The current versions of the EMS NG
Viewer
and
Autonomous
Diagnostics
Manager (ADM) (v2.1.5) are designed to
run on the MSD V3 (Windows 7).
The MSD and other test hardware such as internal combustion engine (ICE) kits
and EMS NG software suites are tested for compatibility and brought up-to-speed
as technology evolves. The EMS NG Viewer and ADM can operate on several
operating systems and personal computers, but the primary computer for
any
EMS
IETM is the MSD.
For questions about hardware like the MSD or your ICE kit, contact the MSD help
desk at 1-877-564-1137 or submit a help ticket to the TMDE headshed at:
https://tmde-register.us.army.mil/TMDE_Register/
MSD_Home/MSD_POCs_Intro.aspx
For questions on EMS software products such as EMS-2, EMS NG or the ADM,
contact the EMS help desk by phone at 1-877-445-1780, or email:
support@EMS-helpdesk.com
Or submit a customer incident report through the EMS web-based ticketing
system, Service Now, at:

echanics, keep your Maintenance Support Device Version 2 (MSD V2) handy. You’ll
need it if you still use Electronic Maintenance System-2 (EMS-2) interactive electronic
technical manuals (IETMs) or software loader veri±er (SLV) to maintain equipment.
You
can’t
view EMS-2 IETMs or use the SLV on the newer MSD V3.
That’s because EMS-2 IETMs and the SLV don’t work on any computer with a
Windows 7 or newer operating system (OS). That includes the MSD V3. EMS-2
IETMs and the SLV work only on computers with an OS like Windows Vista or earlier.
That includes the MSD V2.
Bradley, M1-series tank, Direct Support Electrical Systems Test Set (DSESTS),
Stryker, Long Range Advanced Scout Surveillance System (LRAS3) and Paladin
systems use SLV software to change the ±rmware in their on-board modules. So if you
maintain any of these systems with SLV, keep your MSD V2.
All EMS-2 IETMs are slated to be converted to
Electronic Maintenance System—Next Generation
(EMS NG) by March 2015, but until then they can
only be viewed on the MSD V2.

Keep
MSD±V2
Around
for
EMS-2
IETMs
hang on to your
MSD V2…
I need it!
So long,
folks. My
work’s aLl
done and
my ride’s
here!
if you already
turned in the
old MSD V2, you
can get another
one. The TMDE
headshed has
authorized it.
You
can’t
go, buddy!
I - I can’t open these
EMS-2 IETMs!
and My Soldier
needs
‘em to do
maintenance!
just like
Oil and
Vinegar
don’t mix,
The EMS NG viewer
can’t
run EMS-2
IETMs and SLV.
So some
of you
may need
to
keep
your
old MSD
V2 for
awhile!
WAiT!
WAiT!
