The cable selection device 21 is one of the wiring instruction systems, and is a wiring instruction device that notifies an operator of cable information such as a wiring route and a cable type. This is a system in which this is set on the head of an operator and wiring is performed by exchanging with a wiring instruction control device.

Regarding the control panel 10 to be worked, the operator directly reads information on the model of the control panel 10 from the control panel 10 and sends the information to the wiring instruction control device 13 using the aforementioned man-machine interface. Priority is given to the higher-level computer 16 so that the higher-level computer 1
The operator is informed that the control panel 10 designated by 6 is to be worked. When the control panel to be worked is determined, information about the panel and information about the cable are transferred from the host computer 16 to the wiring instruction control device.

There is a level (degree) for the video information projected on the
For example, at a high level, video information such as character information and the shape of an object is displayed, and by switching the level, the content of the displayed information can be switched. This is also done with the man-machine interface.

Then, as shown in FIG.
When the image 82 projected through the half mirror 6 shifts, the half mirror 6 depending on the position of the operator's line of sight
An instruction is sent to the wiring instruction control device 13 to temporarily stop the correction of the image projected on the screen, and the worker shifts the line of sight so that the actual image and the image over the half mirror 6 coincide with each other. To make corrections. Thus, accurate calibration (measurement) of video information can always be performed.
