Abstract:
1. A dynamic component to input signal mapping system for receiving different types of input signals and for providing output signals, comprising: a plurality of input ports for receiving the input signals; a plurality of output ports for providing the output signals; a plurality of components for processing the input signals, each of the components having at least one input and one output; an input multiplexer having signal inputs respectively connected to the input ports, and signal outputs respectively connected to the inputs of the components, and a test input, and a control input; an output multiplexer having signal inputs respectively connected to the outputs of the components, and signal outputs respectively connected to the output ports, and a test output, and a control input; a signal analyzer having an input connected to the test output of the output multiplexer, an output, a first control output connected to the control input of the input multiplexer, a second control output connected to the control input of the output multiplexer, and having a third output; a test signal source having an input connected to the third output of the signal analyzer, and an output connected to the test input of the input multiplexer; wherein the signal analyzer maps connections of the components to the input and output ports via the input and output multiplexers as a function of an operational test of the components by the signal analyzer using test signals supplied by the test signal source and based on the different types of input signals.
