Abstract

In a method for operating a magnetic resonance apparatus, having a radio frequency system for transmitting radio frequency excitation pulses and/or for receiving magnetic resonance signals and a gradient system for generating temporally variable, magnetic gradient fields the excitation pulses and gradient fields are activated dependent on time-variant signals. The time-variant signals are made available in the form of discrete signal values. Each discrete signal value of at least one signal is generated by a virtual machine by processing a virtual machine program.
