The present invention provides an optical amplifying apparatus having: a CPU 11 for processing various signals; a plurality of circuits 17, 18 for controlling respective devices 4, 9 required for optical amplification; a first storing unit 14 for storing a program supplied from a user a gate array 12 for storing various parameters for controlling the devices 4, 9, the gate array being updated based on the program which is stored in the first storing unit 14 and sent via the CPU 11; a latch unit 13, provided between the gate array 12 and the circuits 17, 18, for interrupting a signal path from the gate array 12 to the circuits 17, 18 after receiving a starting signal of an update from the CPU 11 until the update being finished and for controlling the circuits 17, 18 based on the parameters stored in the gate array 12 before the signal path is interrupted; and a second storing unit 16 for, at least during the update, storing the various parameters which are stored in the gate array 12 before the update. |
