Display
The PYTHON III uses a high contrast LED display with automatic dimming. The label also
contains eight select / control buttons, Power, Test, Mov/Sta, Aud/Sq, Range, Up arrow, Down
Arrow and Patrol.
Mode
The mode section shows what the radar is doing. The display is set up like a roadway. A large
red “X” icon in the left lane tells at a glance that the transmitter is in standby. A large green car
in the right lane indicates that the transmitter is on.
The operating mode of the PYTHON III is illustrated with the scene of a patrol car and selected
targets. In opposite direction moving mode, the scene shows an arrow in the left lane of traffic; it
is ahead of the patrol car if the front antenna is selected and behind the patrol car if the rear
antenna is selected. In same direction moving mode, the arrows target vehicle is shown moving
the same direction as the patrol car. In addition, moving mode is indicated by “Mov” appearing
under the middle speed display window.
In stationary mode, the Mode window works similarly. Indicators appear in front of or behind the
patrol vehicle icon to indicate the selected antenna. Stationary mode is indicated by “Sta”
appearing below the middle speed display window.
Speed windows
The PYTHON III has three windows for speed display. These are arranged by function and use
color for quick identification at night.
The leftmost display is a dedicated red target window. This window always displays the strongest
target’s speed, even in fastest mode. Radio frequency error conditions (rFi) are displayed in this
window.
