Abstract
A method of efficiently controlling an image sensing apparatus from a personal computer machine includes the steps of defining a control data file for storage of exposure data and image processing data to be supplied to the image sensing apparatus from the computer machine, storing initial values of the exposure data and the image processing data in the control data file, supplying the exposure data and the image processing data stored in the control data file to the image sensing apparatus, receiving the image data signals from the image sensing apparatus screen by screen and displaying the image data on a monitor screen, computing optimal values of the exposure data and the image processing data for each of a drive timing of the solid state image sensor and processing conditions of the image data signals based on the image data signals, and repeating the supply step, the display step, the computation step and the resetting step to display the image data on the monitor screen in a given period until a command to establish production of a specific image data signal is received.
