PCT No. PCT/EP82/00166 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 14, 1983 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 14, 1983 PCT Filed Aug. 6, 1982.Apparatus for evaluating signals generated by first and second spatially separated rows of photoconductors positioned with respect to a measuring plane. The outputs of the photoconductors in each of the rows is scanned by a sampling circuit at a predetermined rate, and the outputs of each sampling circuit coupled to at least one evaluation circuit. Each of the evaluation circuits includes an analog-to-digital converter coupled to the output of the associated sampling circuit, and a pair of digital delay circuits having their inputs alternately coupled to the output of the A/D converter. A comparator is provided for comparing a threshold signal generated by a reference generator with the outputs of the digital delay circuits, the comparator generating a digital signal having a value corresponding to the difference between the ratio of the signals at the outputs of the delay circuits and the threshold signal. A computer coupled to the outputs of the comparators in each of the evaluation circuits determines the coordinates of an object traversing the measuring plane.
