Abstract

A method and device are provided for initializing acquisition apparatus including the use of coded infrared rays for transmitting data and a control case, the initialization being provided by modulating a light beam in amplitude by means of a carrier signal, this latter being modulated both in frequency and in phase and the modulation depending on the initialization signals. A programmable processing unit delivers the digital data to an infrared ray transmitter, the light signals received in return from the acquisition cases provided with similar transmission means being received by an infrared receiver, decoded and reshaped before being applied to the processing unit.
