FIELD: real-time error-tolerant signal processing equipment, which uses multiple data processing units, which are connected by means of data transmission units. SUBSTANCE: data processing units implement modular computer programs, which consist of multiple functional modules. Responding system transforms input signal state according complex specification into output signal state. Responding system has first database, which stores maximal processing time for each functional unit, as well as maximal transmission time for each data transmission unit, second database, which stores coordination of data processing units, data transmission units and computer programs between each other, as well as sequences of signal processing operations according processing specification. In addition, responding system has third database, which stores parameters of data processing units, data transmission units, and computer programs. Stored data are used by synchronization unit in order to detect maximal execution time for production of output signal state. This happens before real use of system after development, so that its ability for real-time operations may be proven in advance. EFFECT: detection of maximal time required for output signal state processing. 8 cl, 3 dwg
