PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system reconfigurable so as to adapt to various signal formats without requiring the change or redundant design of hardware. SOLUTION: This reconfigurable interface processes a specific device through software rather than hardware. The reconfigurable interface samples an output from at least one device and converts it to a digital signal. The digital signal can then be processed in any desired manner, such as to extract intelligence or condition the signal. The conversion and the processing are controlled by data in a configuration table, which can simply be modified or reconfigured to accommodate to different systems and devices. The same reconfigurable interface can be used for any type of device and the devices do not require customized hardware interfaces to communicate with a signal processor. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
