Abstract
A method for configuring a plurality of controlling devices includes storing first configuration data for a first one of the controlling devices in a data device. The first configuration data is transmitted from the data device to the first controlling device. Second configuration data for a second one of the controlling devices is stored in the data device. The second configuration data is transmitted from the data device to the second controlling device.
Claims20
A method for configuring a plurality of controlling devices, the method comprising:
- transmitting first configuration data from a data device to a first one of the controlling devices;
- and
- transmitting second configuration data from the data device to a second one of the controlling devices.
A method for transmitting configuration data to a plurality of integrated circuit devices, the method comprising:
- receiving a first signal into a data storage device from a first of the integrated circuit devices;
- transmitting a first portion of the configuration data, which is associated with the first integrated circuit device, from the data storage device to the first integrated circuit device as a function of the first signal;
- receiving a second signal from a second of the integrated circuit devices into the data storage device;
- and
- transmitting a second portion of the configuration data, which is associated with the second integrated circuit device, from the data storage device to the second integrated circuit device as a function of the second signal.
A plurality of signals executable on a computing device including a data device, a first controlling device electrically communicating with the data device, and a second controlling device electrically communicating with both the data device and the first controlling device, the signals comprising:
- configuration data signals stored on a computer readable medium communicating with the data device;
- and
- control signals generated within the first and second controlling devices for managing transmissions of the configuration data signals from the data device to the first and second controlling devices.
