ABSTRACT:
The present system is an electronic endoscope system capable of immediately deciding a trouble on scope connection and moreover easily obtaining ROM version information from the system. In the case of this system, a scope having a CCD is provided with a microprocessor and a processor unit for processing a signal is provided with a microcomputer and a ROM to communicate intrinsic data between the scope and the processor. In this case, the microcomputer decides imperfect connection of the scope and moreover decides a scope-connection error by detecting a fixed value for detection incorporated into communication data. Moreover, when there is imperfect connection of the scope or a connection error, a character message for prompting connection is displayed on the screen of a monitor. Furthermore, in this case, the version information of the ROM is displayed at the same time.
