Claim:
1. A supply device for a surgical apparatus for operating at least one surgical instrument, comprising: a memory unit for storing configuration data, the data comprising control values describing a state automaton having a plurality of states; a control unit for controlling the at least one surgical instrument, wherein the control unit is configured to read in the configuration data, translate the state automaton into a control program, and control the at least one surgical instrument consistent with the control program; and a mediating unit having at least one mediator for allocating at least one adjustment value of at least one of an actual adjustment device and a virtual adjustment device to a mathematical function to obtain a scaling factor for a control value, the adjustment value being received during the execution of the control program, wherein the virtual adjustment device comprises at least one control rule for at least one transition between two states of the state automaton.
