A signal formatting circuitry and programmable signal processing device where the signal formatting circuitry is adapted to receive an electrical raw input signal and comprise means to reshape the raw input signal to a formatted electrical input signal according to input requirements of a signal processing device, characterised in that the programmable signal processing device is programmed to deliver control signals according to a received parameter, in accordance with an expected raw input signal format, and that further;
- the signal processing device is adapted to deliver output control signals at switching devices provided in a signal line arranged between a potential of the electrical raw input signal and ground potential wherein,
- the switching devices are adapted to connect the electrical raw input signal to ground potential through a respective resister of predetermined size, whereby each resistor has a terminal connected to the electrical raw input signal and a terminal connected to ground potential to create a formatted input signal at the terminal of the resistor connected to the electrical raw input signal.
