METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF INSTRUMENTS THROUGH VIDEO SIGNALS

摘要

A method for providing communication between a first machine (717) and a second machine (Figs. 4 and 5a-5e) comprises coupling a first display output (20) of the first machine (717) to a first input port (Fig. 4) of the second machine (Figs. 4 and 5a-5e), converting first display signals (Figs. 1a-1d) generated by the first machine (717) at the first display output (20) into first instructions and data and using the first instructions and data to operate the second machine (Figs. 4 and 5a-5e).
