Update software to solve IETM viewing problems.


Dear Editor,

Some electronic maintenance system (EMS) users have version conflicts when they try to view recent interactive electronic technical manuals (IETMs). Usually this happens because the current EMS software isn't installed on their maintenance support device (MSD (MicroSoft Diagnostics) A utility that accompanied Windows 3.1 and DOS 6 that reported on the internal configuration of the PC. A variety of information on disks, video, drivers, IRQs and port addresses was provided. ).

So if you can't read your IETMs you may only need to upgrade your version of the EMS to match (or exceed) the version of the software the IETM IETM Interactive Electronic Technical Manual
IETM Informal European Theatre Meeting
IETM Integrated Electronic Technical Manual (US Army)
IETM Integrated Engine Technical Manual (US Air Force) 
 was authored in. Please note that installation on some Army LANs requires administrator rights.

The latest version of the EMS software can be Found on the IETM CD-ROM CD-ROM: see compact disc.

(s). The recommended method for upgrading the software is to:

* Un-install the EMS-2 software (not the IETM) that is currently installed on the machine.

* Install the EMS-2 software found on the CD-ROM(s) that accompanies the IETM you are attempting to view.

Each update is backwards-compatible and will view previously developed IETMs. The best rule of thumb is: "Always install the latest viewer you have."

If you have any problems updating your EMS software, please email: IETM/EMSSupport@tacom.army.mil An Internet address domain name for a military agency. See Internet address.
