Endoscope apparatus

摘要

An endoscope apparatus comprises a light source unit including a controlling station transmission circuit to serve as a controlling station, and an endoscope unit and an endoscopic camera unit individually including controlled station transmission circuits to serve as controlled stations. The controlling station transmission circuit checks unregistered addresses on its own address table a fixed number of times every time an operation sequence is completed. If a unit connected to the light source unit is an unregistered unit, the address of the unregistered unit is registered on one of the unregistered addresses on the address table.
