Inventor: BRANDL THOMAS
IPC: G06K15/00
Filed: 2001-03-01
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the configuration of a device-specific program system. Adjusting values that require different loading operations are input during an input phase (t4 to t5). The first adjusting value is then transmitted to the device-specific program system (t8). The device-specific program system carries out a loading operation (t8 to t9) required for the processing of the first adjusting value.  The second adjusting value is transmitted to the device-specific program system (t10) and a corresponding loading operation is carried out (t10a to t11). The inventive method allows a user to input the second adjusting value already before the first loading operation is completed.
