Electron flash unit with microprocessor for use with image recording equipment has externally accessible interface via which memory of microprocessor can be programmed with new updated software for adaptation to changed conditions

摘要

The unit has a microprocessor in which frequently repeating flash unit functions are read into a non-volatile memory in the form of an associated data block and that automatically sets associated flash unit functions using the read out data. It has an externally accessible interface via which the memory of the microprocessor can be programmed with new updated software for adaptation to changed conditions.
