Control apparatus

A control apparatus for controlling a plurality of functions, comprising:

• first storage means for storing a plurality of control data entries;
• a plurality of control switch means;
• control data changing means for changing each control data entry in said first storage means in response to the status of said plurality of control switch means;
• mode switch means for controlling said control data changing means to vary the functions to be controlled;
• control data transmitting means for serially transmitting control signals corresponding to said plurality of control data entries in said first storage means;
• second storage means;
