Abstract
An electronic image processing apparatus including a controller and a plurality of modules having an arbitrary configuration and being interconnected by input and output ports. The interconnection or port pairings of the modules is determined by the controller by defining ports into input and output sets and defining a given set by logic signals. The logic signals are set to the same level and a logic level change in the logic signals is systematically prompted. The responses from associated ports are identified to map all input and output ports for the image processing apparatus.
