Abstract
A magnetic resonance apparatus has a computer designed to emit, on each of at least one control channel, a control signal generated from a sequence of values to control, via each channel, at least one component of the magnetic resonance apparatus. A buffer device is provided for each channel, which includes at least one read control device and a control buffer memory for that control channel. A software tool running on the computer is designed to determine the values as a function of predefined parameters and write them to the control buffer memory. The read control device is designed to read values from the control buffer memory and to supply them, with a read clock derived from a clock that was set independently of the computer, to the respective component. For each of the control buffer memories, the order in which the values are read corresponds to the order in which they are written.
