1. A method comprising:
- synchronizing a graphical user interface in a wireless control unit with a configuration of controllable endoscopic devices connected to a base unit of an endoscopic control system, wherein synchronizing the graphical user interface comprises;
downloading files for a graphical user interface corresponding to the base unit;
detecting a first configuration of controllable endoscopic devices connected to the base unit; and
displaying a first set of icons in the graphical user interface corresponding to the first configuration of controllable endoscopic devices;
detecting changes in the configuration of the controllable endoscopic devices; and
automatically updating the graphical user interface in the wireless control unit with updated configuration information of the controllable endoscopic devices.

Abstract
A method for remote control of devices. A remote control device receives a graphical user interface from a controlled device. The graphical user interface is periodically updated with controlled device data. The controlled device data is interrupted by command data from the remote control device. The controlled device responds to the command data and updates the graphical user interface.
