Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to a signal processing unit.In an embodiment of the invention the processing unit is provided in the form of a status and control unit which co-operates with a central station via a communications link. The unit is controlled by a microprocessor which is programmed to operate in a functional configuration controlled by the settings of one or more parameters. These parameters may be changed by means of a message transmitted to to the unit from the central station.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 77 words
A signal processing unit comprising communication means for receiving messages transmitted to the processing unit; processing means for controlling operation of the unit in accordance with at least one stored operating parameter; storage means for storing the at least one parameter governing operation of the processing means and wherein the processing means is responsive to a received message to change the at least one parameter whereby the operating characteristics of the signal processing unit may be changed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 77 words
A signal processing unit comprising communication means for receiving messages transmitted to the processing unit; processing means for controlling operation of the unit in accordance with at least one stored operating parameter; storage means for storing the at least one parameter governing operation of the processing means and wherein the processing means is responsive to a received message to change the at least one parameter whereby the operating characteristics of the signal processing unit may be changed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
A signal processing unit as claimed in claim 1 in which the processing means is a microprocessor operating under programme control in accordance with at least one stored parameter.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 23 words
