Method and device for bidirectional IR data transfer between a medical treatment table and an operator control device

a da da da dThe invention presents a method and a device for bidirectional IR data transfer between a medical treatment table, particularly an operating table (to ), and an operator control device (to ) which are subscribers in the IR data transfer and which each comprise an IR transmitter and an IR receiver, where the data to be transferred by a subscriber (to to ) are split into data blocks which are transmitted in succession, with a respective break being observed between the transmission of the individual data blocks, and where data from another subscriber are transmitted within the breaks.
