Abstract

A night vision system including an image intensifier receiving light. A current detector monitors current at the image intensifier. A data filter is coupled to the current detector and determines if the received light includes coded light pulses matching a predetermined code. A controller is coupled to the data filter. The controller alters a parameter of the night vision system if the received light includes coded light pulses matching a predetermined code.
