ABSTRACT:
A machine state virtualizer is an apparatus for controlling an electronic device having a switch matrix of X-lines and Y-lines (sometimes referred to as crosspoint switches) with a microcomputer. The device includes a plurality of switches which interconnect specified X-lines and Y-lines of the electrical device. A microcomputer references a machine state virtualization map and outputs data corresponding to a desired machine state. The output data is then decoded and used to control the plurality of switches so as to virtualize the desired machine state of the electronic device. The microcomputer utilizes sequences and rules for implementing a defined device control objective.
