  • Patent number: 6694481
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reading programmes into a device which processes data using a processor, according to a programme stored in a programme memory. A programming device sends programme data to the programme memory of the device to be programmed in the form of a data stream. The inventive method comprises the following steps: a) activating a light transmitter in accordance with the programme data, so that said light transmitter generates digital light signals in accordance with the programme data; b) receiving the light signals with a light receiver which is permanently installed on the device to be programmed and c) applying the signals of the light receiver of the device to be programmed to the programme memory of the same. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out this method.
