Abstract

An endoscope assembly consisting of an endoscope (22), a light source, (536) and a camera (552) with display (558). The endoscope contains a memory (670) with data that describes the endoscope and its operating characteristics. When the light source is connected to the endoscope with a fiber optic cable (450), the data in the memory are read into a control processor (538) internal to the light source. The control processor, based on the endoscope data configures the light source so that it emits an appropriate amount of light for that endoscope. The light source also sends a control unit (556) of the camera data indicating the type of endoscope to which the camera is attached. Based on this endoscope type data, the control unit processes the image signals generated by the camera head in an appropriate form for the attached endoscope so as to produce appropriate signals for presenting an image on the display.
