Patent ID: 8237944

Claim:
A data input/output system comprising: a plurality of input apparatuses for inputting data; a plurality of output apparatuses for outputting data; a data path formation section which connects with the plurality of input apparatuses and the plurality of output apparatuses and forms a data path for outputting inputting data inputted by any one of the plurality of input apparatuses to any one of the plurality of output apparatuses; a first transmission and reception section which receives an input parameter list for setting an operation condition of the input apparatus among the plurality of the input apparatuses and stores the input parameter list; a second transmission and reception section which receives an output parameter list for setting an operation condition of the output apparatus among the plurality of the output apparatuses and stores the output parameter list; an input apparatus selection section which selects the input apparatus used for data input among the plurality of input apparatuses; an output apparatus selection section which selects the output apparatus used for data output among the plurality of output apparatuses; a parameter coordination section which performs a coordinating processing for coordinating the input parameter list of the input apparatus selected by the input apparatus selection section and the output parameter list of the output apparatus selected by the output apparatus selection section, and generates a coordination parameter list; a display apparatus; and a display control section which executes the display apparatus to display an parameter setup screen based on the coordination parameter list; wherein, when a choice of every item of the coordination parameter list is uniquely determined, the coordinating processing is a processing for outputting a display prohibiting signal which prohibits the display control section from executing the display to display a parameter setting screen, based on the coordination parameter list.
