Covering. Then, when the keyboard is used, the display unit is erected at a position on the rear end side of the keyboard unit.

When the operation of the keyboard is finished, for example, there is a case where it is desired to install the device at an appropriate place. In such a case, the space can be saved by opening the open / close door to move the display unit to the front end of the keyboard, and then closing the open / close door and installing the door appropriately. Alternatively, after moving the display unit to the front end of the keyboard and closing the opening / closing door, the display unit may be laid down on the keyboard with the display surface facing upward. In this state, space can be saved and the keyboard portion is completely covered, so there is no risk of accidentally operating the keyboard, and moreover, the display screen can be viewed without bending down.

[0013] In addition, the keyboard section is composed of a general-purpose operation keys and the basic operation key, is a general-purpose operation key is operated, such as during the development of analytical methods, and the basic operation key, the actual analysis process, such as a daily basis at the time of Operated. The basic operation keys are provided, for example, on the front right side on the main body of the apparatus, and the general-purpose operation keys are provided in other portions.

The display section has, for example, a space on the lower right side thereof, which is large enough not to disturb the operation of the basic operation keys. Therefore, even after the moving plate is moved to the front end of the keyboard, the basic operation keys can be operated as usual even when the display screen is turned upside down.
