  • Publication number: 20240143155
    Abstract: An endoscope processor includes a processor executing program code to a) display on a touch panel a setting region combining an on-off switch accepting switching between on and off states of a function of an endoscope and an adjustment switch accepting adjustment of a level of the function; b) accept operations performed on the switches that are displayed; and c) change a state of the function based on an accepted operation. The adjustment switch includes a range display indicating an adjustable range and a slider movable along the range display. The accepting operation accepts a tap operation performed around the range display at a position away from the slider. In addition, the slider moves by a predetermined amount causing a predetermined amount of change in the level of the function of the endoscope in response to the tap operation performed at a location spaced from the range display.
