Description

  The present invention relates to an analyzer that receives analysis conditions, performs measurement, acquires data, analyzes the acquired data, and outputs an analysis result. Here, the analyzer includes a chromatograph analyzer, an amino acid analyzer, and the like.

  In recent years, analyzers have advanced in performance and functions such as multi-items, high sensitivity, and high speed, while diversifying their usage forms and division of labor. For example, a high performance liquid chromatograph called HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) is widely used as a technique for separating and quantifying various organic compounds with high throughput.

Fields in which such analytical methods are used include a wide range of fields such as drug discovery in pharmaceutical manufacturers, quality control in the food industry, and research fields in university agencies. The method of using the analyzer also varies depending on the field and purpose. Therefore, in HPLC, it is required that various settings can be made for analysis conditions including conditions for operating the analyzer main body and processing conditions for analyzing the analysis data obtained from the analyzer main body.
Therefore, a GUI (Graphical User Interface) that provides an advanced graphics function is installed. If the analyzer equipped with the GUI is used, a person having high skill level can analyze a sample to be measured (measurement sample), an analysis apparatus main body hardware (analysis module), and an analysis data processing apparatus including software. Since the processing conditions can be set finely by making use of deep knowledge about, it is possible to cause the analysis data processing apparatus to execute various analysis processes as necessary.

On the other hand, the flow of analysis operations is difficult to understand visually, and it is necessary to have a certain level of knowledge of liquid chromatographic analysis to use the analyzer.
For example, in order to analyze a measurement sample, set the equipment conditions such as pump flow rate, create a sample table, and stabilize the chromatogram baseline to analyze the obtained analysis data. However, it is difficult to operate the flow of these series of operations unless the person has knowledge about chromatogram measurement.
For users who are not familiar with chromatogram measurement and who are unfamiliar with the operation (for example, a person who does not have a high level of skill in the quality control department), the user does not know the overall flow of the operation. Since it is not possible to know where the entire situation is, there is a possibility that an incorrect operation may be performed or a target result may not be obtained.

In recent years, for example, by the technique described in Patent Document 1, the chromatographic data measurement procedure is recognized from the screen, and the measurement procedure is displayed on the screen according to the purpose of use. Attempts have been made to make it easy to operate the chromatographic analyzer regardless of the knowledge of the system or the proficiency level of the chromatographic data processing apparatus.
In addition, commercially available image editing software allows users to save screens that are laid out according to their usage, allowing them to be recalled at any time, and using a keyboard ( Some functions can be changed with a single touch of a function key.

(D) is a figure which shows the structure of an apparatus state monitor screen, (e) is a figure which shows the screen which displays a chromatogram, (f) is a figure which shows the screen which displays analysis result data. is there.

The various functions of the operation screen for researchers are explained along the work steps.
Here, for example, a description will be given assuming a researcher searching for an effective component against a disease in the field of drug discovery. First, the researcher selects an analysis sample for analysis from food such as vegetables (step S101). Next, the analysis sample is preprocessed to a property that can be measured by the analyzer 1, and a measurement sample is prepared (step S102, “analysis pretreatment”). Then, the researcher activates the analyzer 1 (step S103).

  When the analysis apparatus 1 is started up in step S103, the UI control unit 35 in the analysis apparatus operation terminal 20 displays the login user list displayed as “login user list” for specifying the user as shown in FIG. A screen 50 is displayed on the display 26. The login screen 50 is, for example, one of an explanation display column 51 for prompting specification of a user name displayed as “Please select a user to operate” and one of user names 52a, 52b, and 52c registered in advance. And an input screen 52 for selecting.

  Here, of the user names 52a, 52b, and 52c, for example, when the user name 52a of “XXX” that is a user name for a researcher is selected by the user, the analyzer operation UI module 35a is 4 is read from the workflow management DB 41 and the display screen format 41f associated with the workflow management data 41a is read. For example, the main screen 55 shown in FIG. Is displayed.

  The main screen for researchers 55 includes a menu 56 for selecting commands, a device condition screen 57 for displaying and editing device conditions for each analysis module of the analyzer 1, and a device status monitor screen 58 for displaying the current status of the analyzer 1. , A chromatogram display screen 59 capable of displaying chromatogram data and instructing analysis processing of chromatogram data, and a result data display screen 60 displaying analysis results of chromatogram data.

Incidentally, the menu 56 displays icons for various editing functions, for example, an icon 56a displayed as “file”, an icon 56b displayed as “edit”, an icon 56c displayed as “sequence”, and “window”. A prepared icon 56d is prepared.
The “file” icon 56a is effective only when the device condition screen 57, the chromatogram display screen 59, and the result data display screen 60 are selected. The data related to the screens 57, 59, and 60 is “named”. Save "and" Overwrite ".
The “edit” icon 56b is effective only when the apparatus condition screen 57 is selected, and is a function that enables character string editing of “cut”, “copy”, and “paste”.

  In the “sequence” icon 56, “one (1) start analysis” is performed to cause the analyzer main body 10 to analyze only one measurement sample, and a plurality of measurement samples set in the injection module 4 (sampler) are continuously analyzed. Functions that enable the analysis apparatus body 10 to start and stop, such as “continuous analysis start” to be analyzed by the apparatus body 10 and “analysis interruption” to interrupt the operation of the analysis apparatus body 10 during the analysis operation, are prepared. .

  The features of the screen configuration centered on this researcher's main screen 55 are such that the researcher is suitable for the discovery work while trying and finding the optimal analysis conditions for the specific measurement sample that is the researcher's purpose. In the main screen 55, the above four windows of the apparatus condition screen 57, the apparatus state monitor screen 58, the chromatogram display screen 59, and the result data display screen 60 are displayed. You can open the screens necessary for setting operations.

As shown in FIG. 4C, the apparatus condition screen 57 is a term representatively displaying each analysis module included in the analysis apparatus 1, for example, “pump”, “sampler”, “oven”, “detection”. In the tabs labeled with “containers”, a window for setting analysis conditions is opened for each of the analysis modules 3, 4, 5, 6 (see FIG. 1), and the apparatus condition editing sections 61a, 61b, 61c, 61d are opened. And an icon button 62 displayed as “confirmed” for confirming the apparatus conditions.
Incidentally, the solvent supply module 3 is displayed as “pump”, the injection module 4 as “sampler”, the separation module 5 as “oven”, and the detection module 6 as “detector”.

  When a researcher opens the window of each device condition editing section 61a, 61b, 61c, 61d, detailed device conditions are displayed as items so that various settings can be made (omitted in FIG. 4C). The researcher confirms the displayed apparatus conditions, and operates and sets the keyboard 27a and mouse 27b (step S104 in FIG. 3, “apparatus condition provisional determination”).

For example, in the apparatus condition editing unit 61a of “pump” (see FIG. 4 (c)), the liquid supply amount of the solvent supply module 3 is set to be constant, and the liquid supply amount is set to the initial value. From the predetermined amount, it can be set to increase the liquid feeding amount with a predetermined inclination, or the solvent concentration can be changed with a predetermined inclination.
Similarly, the apparatus condition editing unit 61b of the “sampler” can designate the sample container ID (Vial No.) of the injection module 4 and set the dispensing amount from the sample container.
In the apparatus condition editing unit 61c of “oven”, the temperature condition at the time of separation can be set by designating the temperature maintained by a thermostat (not shown) of the separation module 5.
In the device condition editing unit 61d of “detector”, a detector unit ID of a predetermined detector unit of the detection module 6 can be designated and the detector unit can be set to a measurement state.

  When the researcher clicks on the confirmation icon button 62 on the device condition screen 57 (see FIG. 4C) with the mouse 27b in step S104, the device condition is confirmed, and the device condition is stored in the analysis data DB 40 of the storage device 24. Is stored, and the analysis management unit 37 reads out the apparatus conditions, and controls the control unit 7 (see FIG. 1) of the analyzer body 10 via the communication unit 30, the communication line 9 (see FIG. 1), and the communication unit 8 (see FIG. 1). 1), the analyzer main body 10 is operated and monitored (step S105, “manual measurement”).

  When the manual measurement is started, the analysis management unit 37 acquires the self-diagnosis result of each of the analysis modules 3 to 6 and the progress of analysis from the analysis apparatus main body 10 and delivers them to the analysis apparatus operation UI module 35a. The apparatus state monitor screen 58 (see FIG. 4D) displays “Pump” indicating the current state of each of the analysis modules 3, 4, 5 and 6 constituting the analyzer body 10. The window 58a, the display window 58b displaying "sampler", the display window 58c displaying "oven", and the display window 58d displaying "detector" can be opened. The UI module 35a displays the self-diagnosis result and the analysis progress on each display window 58a, 58b, 58c, 58d.

  For example, in the display window 58a, the progress of the liquid supply amount for the measurement sample currently being analyzed is displayed in a history diagram from the start of measurement to the present, the current liquid supply amount is displayed as a digital value, and whether or not it is in an abnormal state. The self-diagnosis result by the control unit 7 of the analyzer main body 10 is displayed. In the display window 58b, the sample container ID of the measurement sample being analyzed, the measurement order, the sample type, the measurement sample name, and the dispensed amount are displayed, and the self-diagnosis result as to whether or not an abnormal state is present is displayed.

In the display window 58c, the column type of the separation module 5 currently in use and the elapsed state of the oven temperature are displayed from the start of measurement to the present, and the current temperature is displayed as a digital value. Displays the self-diagnosis result as to whether or not it is abnormal.
In the display window 58d, the detector type used for the measurement sample currently being analyzed in the detection module 6 and the self-diagnosis result as to whether or not it is in an abnormal state are displayed.

After “manual measurement” in step S105, in step S106, the user performs data processing (analysis processing).
Among these, the user displays the chromatogram of the measurement sample during the manual measurement or displays the chromatogram after the measurement using the chromatograph display screen 59 (see (e) of FIG. 4) by the UI module 35a for analyzer operation. Secondary processing such as baseline correction of the image can be performed.
In addition, the measurement result can be confirmed by the analyzer operation UI module 35a using the result data display screen 60 (see FIG. 4F), and the concentration rate or dilution rate of the liquid sample when the measurement sample is pretreated. You can check the data processing such as coefficient correction and the layout of the result report.

  In this way, the researcher can determine the optimum apparatus conditions for a new type of measurement sample, and can set the correspondence between the peak position and the component name.

Returning to FIG. 3, in step S107, the user determines whether the analysis data and the result of the analysis processing have achieved the intended purpose and whether or not the result is as desired ("Analysis result is as expected?"). If not (No), the process returns to step S104.
If it is as desired in Step S107 (Yes), the user proceeds to Step S108 and determines the apparatus condition and the processing condition.

<Operation screen for routine analysis workers>
Next, the flow of an operation screen for routine analysis workers (hereinafter referred to as a routine analysis operation screen) will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a basic work step diagram in routine analysis work. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of an operation screen flow displayed by the analyzer operation UI module 35a used in the operation steps S203 to S206 of FIG. Various functions of the routine analysis operation screen will be described along the work steps.

Here, for example, a description will be given assuming a routine analysis worker in a quality control department that receives an instruction from a higher-order instructor and analyzes a measurement sample.
The same screen configuration as the screen configuration described in the researcher operation screen is denoted by the same reference numeral, and redundant description is omitted.
First, the routine analysis worker receives an instruction including information necessary for analysis, such as a measurement sample to be analyzed, the number of measurements, apparatus conditions, and processing conditions, from a higher-level instruction person (step S201). Next, the routine analysis worker prepares a measurement sample by pre-processing the instructed measurement sample into a property that can be measured by the analyzer 1 (step S202). Then, the routine analysis worker starts the analysis apparatus 1 (step S203).

When the analysis apparatus 1 is started up in step S203, the UI control unit 35 in the analysis apparatus operation terminal 20 displays a login screen 50 for specifying an operating user as shown in FIG. This login screen 50 is the same as when the researcher starts up the analyzer 1 in step S103.
6B is a sample condition setting screen in the screen flow of the routine analysis operation screen, FIG. 6C is a main screen of the routine analysis operation screen, and FIG. 6D is a result data display screen.

  Here, of the user names 52a, 52b, and 52c, for example, when the user name 52b of “YYY”, which is a user name for routine analysis work, is selected by the user, the analyzer operation UI module 35a displays the user name 52b. The workflow management data 41a associated with the name and capable of providing an optimum operation for executing a routine analysis task for a specific measurement sample analysis purpose is read from the workflow management DB 41, and the display screen associated with the workflow management data 41a The format 41f is read and, for example, the sample condition setting screen 70 (see FIG. 6B) is displayed.

The sample condition setting screen 70 displays an explanation display column 71 for prompting an input operation, a sample measurement condition item column 72, an analysis time column 73, an icon button 74a for confirming the sample condition displayed as “analysis start”, and “return”. Returning to the login screen 50, the icon button 74b for operation is configured.
The sample measurement condition item column 72 includes a serial number column 72a indicating the analysis order of the measurement sample, a number column 72b indicating a container ID (Vial No.) defined at the position of the set sample container in the sampler, and a measurement sample for each measurement sample. There is a method file name column 72f for displaying the file name of the method standard data 41d registered in the workflow management DB 41 associated with the number of injections column 72c, the measurement sample type column 72d, the measurement sample name column 72e, and the workflow management data 41a. Is provided. The icon button 72g displays a plurality of method file names in a method file name field 72f which is a combo box field, and the user designates one of them and displays it in the combo box field 72f.

  Here, the measurement sample type column 72d and the measurement sample name column 72e are portions that the routine analysis worker needs to input by operating the keyboard 27a and the mouse 27b for the number of measurement samples to be analyzed this time. The serial number column 72a indicating the analysis order is automatically numbered from 1 in the input order of the measurement sample name, but the priority order number input by the routine analysis worker after that is used as the input number order as it is, The analysis order may be overlaid so that other measurement samples are measured later.

The number of injections means how many times one measurement sample is analyzed. In routine analysis, a standard number is determined in advance by linking with a method file.
The manual analysis is used when the user inputs the number of injections and analyzes the number of injections input for the same measurement sample.
Furthermore, the method file name displayed in the method file name field 72f has standard apparatus conditions and chromatogram data processing conditions in a specific routine analysis job determined in advance. As a part, it may be uniquely associated with the method standard data 41d in the workflow management DB 41 in advance and automatically determined uniquely at the stage of determining the user on the login screen 50. In this case, the measurement sample type is also automatically and uniquely determined at the stage of determining the user, and is automatically displayed.
In the analysis time column 73, an analysis time display column 73a and a scheduled analysis end time display column 73b are prepared.

The box field 164, the detailed button corresponding to the screen name designated in the combo box field 164, an icon button 165 for moving to the editing screen, and the focus designation in the workflow editing area 163 are output in the process. The icon button 94 for displaying the report format name, the combo box field 166 that is the display field, and the detailed contents such as the layout of the report corresponding to the report format name specified in the combo box field 166 are transferred to the edit screen. A button 167 is included.

  As with the other definition screens, the input is confirmed in the analysis workflow type name input field 168, the icon button 136 for canceling input execution, and the edited analysis workflow, and the new analysis workflow type name is used. It includes an icon button 137 for registering and saving, and an icon button 138 for confirming the flow in the edited analysis workflow and registering and saving with the same analysis workflow type name as before.

The analysis workflow type name input field 168 can be manually input. When the workflow type definition screen 160 is opened, the analysis workflow type name “WWWW” in the combo box field 112 is initially displayed.
By displaying the workflow type definition screen 160, it is possible to refer to the specific contents of the operation screen used in the workflow of the analysis operation, and it is possible to register the change if necessary.

  As icons for designating processes prepared in advance in the process selection column 162, (1) processes necessary for routine analysis, (2) let the analyzer main body 10 analyze the standard measurement sample, and analyze the analyzer 1 (3) Steps required to inspect the state of the test, (3) Steps required for flexible analysis and flexible analysis processing of analysis data when the researcher performs manual analysis, (4) Routine analysis However, the steps necessary for enabling flexible setting of apparatus conditions and processing conditions are prepared in advance.

  In FIG. 13, for example, “start” and display icon 162a, “device condition setting” and display icon 162b, “processing condition setting” and display icon 162c, “sample table setting” and display icon 162d, “analysis” “Execute” and display icons 162e, “Data analysis execution” and display icons 162f, “Analysis result display” and display icons 162g, “Create report” and display icons 162h, and “End” and display icons 162z are prepared. Has been.

In the example of the workflow type definition screen 160 shown in FIG. 13, icons 162 a, 162 d, 162 e, 162 g, and 162 z are dropped in the workflow editing area 163. The arrow that connects is automatically generated and displayed. This process flow corresponds to the routine analysis workflow screen (see FIG. 6).
The flow of this process does not necessarily include a process until the detector signal obtained by the analyzer main body 10 is analyzed. For example, the chromatographic data is changed several times for the same measurement sample by changing the apparatus conditions little by little, for example, changing the solvent concentration to perform an analysis operation, or changing the solvent temperature in the separation module 5. In some cases, the process is automatically performed when searching for appropriate apparatus conditions.
When the icon button 165 is pressed on the workflow type definition screen 160, the screen layout definition screen 170 is displayed (step S309A).

(Step S309A: screen layout definition screen)
Next, the screen layout definition screen will be described.
When the icon button 165 is pressed on the workflow type definition screen 160, the workflow registration UI module 35b displays a screen layout definition screen 170 (see FIG. 14).
Here, the screen layout definition screen 170 capable of editing the monitoring screen in the “analysis execution” process corresponding to the icon 162d indicating “analysis execution” will be described as an example.

As shown in FIG. 14, the screen layout definition screen 170 displayed as “screen editing screen-SSSS” displays the screen name displayed in the combo box column 164, for example, “SSSS” in the title. The screen layout definition screen 170 includes a menu column 171 for executing functions relating to file operations and editing, a tool bar 172 used for editing the screen layout, a screen layout editing work area 176, and a screen end button 173.
In the menu column 171, an icon 171 a displayed as “file” having a function of saving and overwriting the screen data edited on the screen layout definition screen 170, cutting, and editing the character string And an icon 171b displayed as “edit” having a function of enabling copying and pasting.

On the tool bar 172, an icon button 172a displaying “edit box” for inputting characters, an icon button 172b displaying “2D graph” for displaying a chromatogram graph, and a “control button” for displaying a control button are displayed. And a command button for inserting various display components for constructing a screen including a “character string” for displaying a character string and a display icon button 172d. After selecting a part, it is possible to place a necessary screen display part by specifying and dragging the place in the screen layout editing work area 176 with the mouse.
By displaying the screen layout definition screen 170, it is possible to refer to the specific contents of the screen displayed in the process where the focus is specified in the workflow editing area 163 (see FIG. 13), and if a change is necessary It is also possible to register changes.

As shown in FIG. 14, in the screen layout editing work area 176, a chromatogram display column 76, a sample state display column 77, an apparatus state monitor screen 58, which correspond to the main screen 75 for routine analysis workers described above, A result display button 78 and an end button 79 are configured.
When the chromatogram display column 76 is generated by the “2D graph” icon button 172d in the screen layout editing work area 176, the workflow registration UI module 35b (see FIG. 2) performs the workflow editing work in this series. Then, the detector defined on the apparatus condition definition screen 140 for the detector is searched, a small screen (not shown) is generated, and it is confirmed that the detector signal is related to the chromatogram display column 76. When the user performs an operation of relating (Yes), the drawing layout definition screen 170 links the data so that the detector signal is displayed in the chromatogram display column 76.

  If the apparatus condition uses a plurality of detectors, the workflow registration UI module 35b detects which detector of which detector if the chromatogram display column 76 in the screen layout editing work area 176 is one. The signal is displayed on the small screen and the detector name is displayed in the chromatogram display column. When there are a plurality of chromatogram display columns 76 in the edit work area 176 of the screen layout, it is selected on the small screen which detector signal of which detector is to be displayed in which chromatogram display column 76, and the chromatogram display column 76 detects the detector. Display the name. In either case, the drawing layout definition screen 170 provides a data link between the detector and the chromatogram display column 76.

  Similarly, when the sample state display column 77 is generated in the screen layout editing work area 176, the workflow registration UI module 35b displays the apparatus condition definition screen 140 for the sampler in the series of workflow editing work. The defined sampler is searched to generate a small screen (not shown), and a confirmation is made to relate the signal from the sampler to the sample state display column 77. When the user performs an operation of relating (Yes), the specimen No. display column 77 is displayed with a Viral No. based on the signal. Is displayed on the drawing layout definition screen 170.

Similarly, when the device status monitor screen 58 is generated in the screen layout editing work area 176, the workflow registration UI module 35b is defined on the device condition definition screen 140 in the series of workflow editing operations. Each module 3 to 6 (pump, sampler, oven, detector) is searched to generate a small screen (not shown), and a confirmation is made to relate the signal from the module to the device status monitor screen 58. When the user performs an operation of relating (Yes), the drawing layout definition screen 170 links data so that the device state based on the signal is displayed on the device state monitor screen 58.
Such data link setting information is stored in the workflow management data 41a.

As the detailed screen of the device status monitor screen 58, a device status monitor screen prepared by the manufacturer for each module is prepared and registered in advance in the GUI template 42d. In this series of workflow editing operations, each module 3 to 6 (pump, sampler, oven, detector) defined on the device condition definition screen 140 is searched, and the device corresponding to the searched type module. A detailed screen can be displayed by establishing a link between the GUI template 42d (see FIG. 2) of the status monitor screen and the device status monitor screen 58.
Incidentally, since the result display button 78 and the end button 79 are screen selection buttons in a series of workflows, they are related to each other in the workflow editing area 163 and can be easily related to each other.

Although not shown, the workflow registration UI module 35b similarly analyzes the analysis result display layout screen in the analysis result display process by associating the result display column with the file name of the processing condition data. Since the path through which the result data file can be searched can be specified, the analysis result data can be searched and displayed according to the path in the analyzer operation UI module 35a.
The connection data between the operation screens related in the workflow editing area 163 and the control data for associating the operation screen of the transition destination with the icon button for transitioning between the operation screens are also stored in the workflow management data 41a.
When the icon button 173 is pressed on the screen layout definition screen 170, the process returns to the workflow type definition screen 160. When the icon button 167 is pressed on the workflow type definition screen 160, the report layout definition screen 180 is displayed (step S309B).

(Step S309B: Report layout definition screen)
Next, the report layout definition screen will be described.
When the button 167 is pressed on the analysis workflow type definition screen 160, the workflow registration UI module 35b displays a report layout definition screen 180 (see FIG. 15). The report layout definition screen 180 displaying “Report Edit-PPPP” shown in FIG. 15 has the report layout name displayed in the combo box field 166 (see FIG. 12B), for example, “PPPP” as the title. A menu field 181 for executing functions relating to file operations and editing, a tool bar 182 used for editing a report layout, a screen layout editing work area 183, and a screen end button 184 are configured.

In the menu column 181, the screen data edited on the report layout definition screen 180 is displayed with an icon 181 a having a function of saving and overwriting the screen data with a name, cut, copy, and paste. It is comprised from the icon 181b displayed as "edit" which has the function which enables the character string edit.
The toolbar 182 displays an icon button 182a displaying “field” for specifying a print item, an icon button 182b displaying “graph” for specifying a chromatographic graph, and “report” for specifying a report item such as a condition. A command button for inserting a display component for composing a report such as the icon button 182c is arranged.
After selecting a necessary display component, it is possible to locate a necessary report item by specifying a location with the mouse in the report layout editing work area 183, and dragging and dropping it.
By displaying the report layout definition screen 180, the specific contents of the report layout displayed in the process with the focus designation in the workflow edit area 163 (see FIG. 13) can be referred to and need to be changed. Change registration is also possible.
When the icon button 184 is pressed on the report layout definition screen 180, the workflow type definition screen 160 is displayed again.

Returning to FIG. 12, by pressing the icon button 137 or the icon button 138 on the analysis workflow type selection screen 110, the user name corresponding to the device configuration, processing conditions, and analysis workflow type selected so far. Transitions to the user registration screen 115 for registering (step S310).
When the “Cancel” icon button 136 is pressed on the analysis workflow type selection screen 110, the screen returns to the analysis workflow type selection screen 110. When the icon button 97 is pressed on the analysis workflow type selection screen 110, the user registration screen 115 is displayed (step S310).

(Step S310: User registration screen)
As shown in FIG. 16, a user registration screen 115 for registering a user includes an explanation display column 116 for prompting user designation corresponding to an application name that defines the flow of analysis operation, a user selection designation column 118 for application name, It consists of a confirmation button 97 and an icon button 96B. After designating or inputting the application name in the input field 117 and the corresponding user in the selection / designation field 118, pressing the confirm button 97 registers the application name in the workflow management DB 41 and the workflow registration UI module 35b displays a login screen. The user name and the application name displayed at 50 (see FIG. 4A and FIG. 6A) are associated with each other. If the user name is a new user name that is not registered in the login screen 50, the workflow registration UI module 35b adds an icon so that the icon of the new user name is displayed on the login screen 50.

  The application name described above is set in the device condition standard data 41b and the processing condition standard data 41c related information related to the registration of a series of workflows, the workflow definition screen 160, the screen layout definition screen 170, and the report layout definition screen 180. In the workflow management data 41a in which the association between the operation screens according to the control of the screen flow and the data corresponding to the display data on the operation screen and the signal association information are stored, the temporary file name is temporarily stored. The file name is the same as the application name.

Further, a folder having the same name as the application name is generated in the workflow management DB 41, and the workflow management data 41a and the device condition standard data 41b (3 to 6) created by the above-described series of workflow registration operations are created under the folder. , Processing condition standard data 41c, workflow definition screen 160, screen layout definition screen 170, and report layout definition screen 180 are stored.
In this way, a series of analysis flow registration operations are completed.

  By storing in the workflow management DB 41 in this way, the device condition standard data 41b, the processing condition standard data 41c, the operation screen, etc. that are used also by other user names are changed, and the old user name folder is changed to the old user name folder. Even if the device condition standard data 41b, the processing condition standard data 41c, the operation screen, etc. are saved with the file name as it is, the device condition standard data 41b, the processing condition standard data 41c, the operation screen, etc. used for other user names are saved. It is possible to prevent accidental changes.

The newly defined user name is designated on the login screen 50 at startup, and the analyzer operation UI module 35a refers to the workflow management data 41a having the specified folder name and executes the screen flow and screen display. Thus, it is possible to provide a screen flow and a screen layout along the flow of the optimal analysis operation according to the user's analysis purpose and the user's proficiency level.
As a result, a display that can be used as an operation guide for highly skilled researchers is displayed on the display 26 to narrow the screen area that can be used by the user, making it difficult to use, or performing a routine analysis according to the instructions. Using the already registered method standard data 41d, when performing analysis and analysis processing and producing a stylized report, an operation screen used for other than such routine work may be displayed, resulting in an error. Operation and misleading can be prevented.

Conventional chromatographic analyzers can set detailed analysis conditions, so that researchers with a high level of skill are required to perform research work by using chromatographic analyzers. The analysis results can be obtained based on the finely specified equipment conditions and processing conditions. For example, in the performance of research work, a researcher may use sample information that indicates the injection volume and dilution ratio, gradient table information that indicates a change in the ratio of the solvent that is flowed using the pump, temperature of the solvent, and the like, and a waveform. Specify for each measurement sample the waveform processing table information indicating the processing method and the time zone to which the processing method is applied, and the component table information specifying the calibration curve drawing method, retention time, measurement sample concentration, etc. Was possible.
However, while it is possible for researchers to specify analysis conditions in detail, the screen of the chromatograph analyzer is packed with many menus, input items, buttons, etc., so it has a high level of skill. Even if a routine analysis worker who is not doing routine analysis work using equipment conditions and processing conditions that are used for general purposes, the menu selection, It is difficult to input values, click an execution button, etc., simplify operations and prevent erroneous operations.

  According to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide, for each user, a screen flow and a screen layout in accordance with the flow of analysis operation that is optimal for the purpose of analysis and the level of proficiency of the user.

<Modification>
In the present embodiment, by inputting a user name on the login screen 50 (see FIG. 4A and FIG. 6A), an analysis operation optimal for the user's analysis purpose and user's proficiency level is performed. The user name input method on the login screen, which provides the screen flow and screen layout along the flow for each user, is not limited to the operation using the keyboard 27a and the mouse 27b.

  For example, as shown by a broken line frame in FIG. 1, an RFIC tag reader / writer (indicated as RFIC (Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit) tag R / W in FIG. 1) 32 is provided on the analyzer operating terminal 20, and an input / output control unit 25 is provided. Connected through. When the user activates the analyzer operating terminal 20, the RFIC tag R / W 32 communicates with an RFIC tag (not shown) built in an employee ID card worn by the user. Then, the UI control unit 35 acquires the employee ID, and acquires the user name by referring to the user ID data 41g (see FIG. 2) in which the correspondence between the employee ID and the user name is registered in advance. Then, the workflow management data 41a having the screen flow corresponding to the acquired user name and the application name of the operation screen is accessed, and thereafter, the analyzer operation UI module 35a refers to the workflow management data 41a to control the screen flow. To do.

Note that the RFIC tag associated with the user name need not be limited to the one with a built-in employee card, and may be an RFIC tag attached to an instruction for analysis operation.
As described above, in the present embodiment and the modifications thereof, the user name is used as “user information” described in the claims, but it is also possible to use a user ID instead of the user name.

  Of course, it is possible to apply the present invention to an analyzer other than the chromatograph analyzer, and by operating the keyboard 27a or the mouse 27b to accept the apparatus conditions and processing conditions, the display 26 displays the analysis progress and analysis results. The present invention can be applied to any analyzer provided with a GUI for display without questioning the field, function, performance, and configuration.
