Apparatus for detecting the presence of a speed detection system includes a microcontroller, a laser detector circuit coupled to the microcontroller, a radar detector circuit coupled to the microcontroller and a display coupled to the microcontroller, wherein the microcontroller receives signals from the laser detector and radar detector circuits and in response to the signals fed thereto, the microcontroller provides an output signal indicating which of the laser and radar detector circuits fed a signal thereto.

Detector apparatus

A new method and apparatus for generating an analog output signal as a function of a digital input in the form of digital words over a specified range. The range is divided into a plurality of intervals, and the function is approximated by a linear segment in each interval. Each linear segment is defined by a step value, which is the value of the linear segment at the beginning the interval, and a slope value, which is the slope of the linear segment in the interval. The function is then approximated for any desired digital word in the range by determining the step and slope values for the interval into which the digital input signal falls, determining an incremental value by multiplying the slope value by the difference between the digital input signal and the value of the digital input signal at the beginning of the interval, and adding the incremental value to the step value.
