See Product Comparison Chart for features.
This program
can be purchased only on an SD, a mini-SD, or micro-SD card; it will
run ONLY on PDAs that come equipped with an SD port. It will
not function in an adapter used for other ports. The operating
system on the PDA must be, at a minimum, WM 5.0 or above.
An evaluation version is not available, but you may download the
manual to review the software's features and tools.

This program has all of the features of the Delta III SD plus many features specifically designed for the professional operating
on his own or as part of a larger team. Some of the more important features include:
- As mentioned, the program and all related data files are on an SD card; the program starts upon card insertion and stops upon withdrawal. No data is left on the PDA. This is a much more secure arrangement and insures that data will not be lost if the PDA is damaged. No license keys are required. The program is not installed on the PDA so it can be used on any PDA that has an SD slot (or mini-slot.) (This means that TDS Recon units will not run this software; the TDS Nomad will.)
- A log key which logs shots taken to include date, time, location, MET variables, shooter, bearing, range, elevation and windage. This log is editable and may be saved on a per mission basis for later use and/or documentation.
- Additional computation tools to 1) compute/verify muzzle velocity through a point-of-impact method at range when a chronograph is not available; 2) compute bullet ballistic coefficient for use with the program. Although the G1 ballistic coefficient published by most bullet manufacturers is very close and can be used by the program with good confidence, at extreme ranges a more precise number is required and this tool allows the user to obtain a ballistic coefficient that is better than the manufacturers G1 ballistic coefficient, at least for use in this program.
- Rifle profiles that can have multiple cartridges associated with the designated rifle together with elevation and windage offsets for each cartridge. This cartridge list is available with a single button click from the main page so that switching cartridges does not require loading a new rifle profile. Further, because each cartridge has associated elevation and windage offsets, selecting a new cartridge that otherwise has a different POI than the default cartridge, the offsets allow seamless use of the selected cartridge without having to change or adjust for the different POI.
- Offset profiles that can be used when one shooter is replaced by another on the first shooter's rifle. The second shooter may need to correct the impact point due to the way he manages the rifle and scope and the offset profile permits him to load the necessary elevation and windage offsets so that he does not need to re-zero the scope or to mentally adjust firing solutions by the offsets.
- Serial port interfaces for commercial laser range finders that output range, bearing and angle. Each time the range finder is used to range a target, the data is brought into the program at various locations to: 1) automatically compute a firing solution; 2) compute the target's coordinates so as to quickly create target files; 3) or to create direct ranging files.
- An advanced set of conversion factors and equations useful for long range applications.
- One click access to rifle profile lists, offset lists and target lists with the ability to quickly edit or create files on these lists.
- Size-of-Objects database accessible from the reticle ranging form with the ability to quickly import the size of a selected object, using either English or metric units, into the form to complete the ranging of the object.
- A "Capture" function on the Elevation Table to export the data
to a CSV file which may be opened in a spreadsheet program to create
and customize ballistic field cards.
- A manual timing form to enable the user to measure target speed
by using an MOA or Mil dot reticle.
- A Target Ranging Card - combines the GPS and serial output of a
range finder to create a list of targets from an FFP as quickly as
the shooter can range. The targets are listed with both
vertical and windage hold-offs such that target acquisition may be
had without dialling a firing solution. Targets may also be
added manually. The target list may be saved as a group target
file for loading at some later time. Group files may also be
created from the Target List.

Deliverables
The Delta IV can be delivered in the standard size SD card with not less than 1 Gigabyte of memory, as a mini-SD card,
or as a micro-SD card with the same amount of memory and housed in an
integral adapter for use in regular sized SD card slots.
