for each unit, a display configuration is automatically recorded in a memory forming part of this unit, for each of the formats able to be displayed by this unit;
the following are recorded in the memory of a unit, as display configurations;
for the format which is currently displayed by this unit, the display configuration such as displayed; and
for each of the other possible formats, the corresponding display configuration which has been displayed last for this format on all of the other units and, by default, a default display configuration; and
when the display of a new format is requested by an operator via the control panel on a particular unit, the recorded display configuration which is associated with this new requested format is automatically extracted from the memory of this unit, and this new format is displayed in accordance with said associated display configuration thus extracted.
