Abstract: A portable test and certification unit for laser-based speed measuring devices (e.g., traffic laser guns) is provided. The test and certification unit is capable of performing manual, semi-automatic and automatic measurements on laser guns, ensuring no “missed” steps in the certification process. The unit is optionally supported by a general-purpose digital computer such as a “PC,” which may, in turn, record test results and print certification documents. The test and certification unit allows for fast and accurate certification of laser guns in a laboratory or in the field by operators of only minimal technical skill, thereby saving expense and time, as laser guns no longer must be removed from vehicles and/or shipped to a remote certification facility.
