When the button 65 is left-clicked, the CPU 31a closes the window 6. In this way, the user can perform data registration and data update in the database DB1.

  The databases DB4 to DB7 are configured so that data registration and data updating can be performed by the same processing as described above, although detailed description is omitted here. In addition, instead of using the functions of the application program 34a to register and update data in the databases DB1 to DB7 in this way, the user uses other database software, spreadsheet software, text editor, etc. to create the database DB1. It is also possible to register and edit DB7.

  Next, the operation of the measurement system 1 when starting measurement of a sample by the particle analyzer 2 will be described. FIG.17 and FIG.18 is a flowchart which shows the flow of operation | movement of the measurement system 1 in such a case. When the measurement start button 46a (see FIG. 14) on the window 4 is left-clicked and a measurement start instruction is received from the user, the CPU 31a sets a variable i indicating the ID of the transmission item to 0 (step S1). An area (hereinafter referred to as a set value transmission data creation area) for creating transmission data (hereinafter referred to as set value transmission data) is secured in the RAM 31c (step S2). Next, the CPU 31a determines whether or not the value of the variable i is less than the maximum ID value N registered in the ID field 38a (see FIG. 10) of the database DB4 (step S3). If it is less than N (Yes in step S3), the value of variable i is incremented by 1 (step S4). Next, the CPU 31a reads the data in the flag 1 field 38g from the record having the same ID as the value of the variable i in the database DB4 (step S5), and determines whether this data is “1” (step S6). . As described above, the flag 1 is a flag indicating whether or not the setting value of this record is set at the start of measurement. Here, when the flag 1 is set to “1” (Yes in Step S6), the CPU 31a executes the processes after Step S7, and when the flag 1 is set to “0”. (No in step S6), the process returns to step S3.

  The CPU 31a reads the data in the input table field 38c and the input item field 38d from the record having the same ID as the value of the variable i in the database DB4 (step S7). For example, when the value of the variable i is “7”, the CPU 31a reads the input table data “SOPCODEDEF” and the input item data “MaxMeasCount” from the database DB4, and when the value of the variable i is “57”, the database DB4. The input table data “SYSTEMMM” and the input item data “TempTarget” are read out from (see FIG. 10). Next, the CPU 31a reads a setting value corresponding to the setting item specified by the input item data of the database specified by the input table data acquired in the process of step S7 (step S8). In the process of step S8, when the input table data is “SOPCODEDEF”, the setting value is read from the database DB2 instead of the database DB3. That is, when the value of the variable i is “7”, the CPU 31a reads the setting value “1” corresponding to the setting item “MaxMeasCount” from the database DB2. When the value of the variable i is “57”, the CPU 31a reads the setting value “250” corresponding to the setting item “TempTarget” from the database DB1. In the process of step S8, the setting value is read from the database DB1 stored in the hard disk 31d for the data of the database DB1, but the setting value is read from the database DB2 of the hard disk 31d for the data of the database DB2. Instead, the setting value stored in the RAM 31c is read while the window 4 is open.

  Next, the CPU 31a reads the data in the object field 38e and the property field 38f from the record having the same ID as the value of the variable i in the database DB4 (step S9). For example, when the value of the variable i is “7”, the CPU 31a reads the object name “MeasSettings” and the property name “MaxMeasCount” from the database DB4, and when the value of the variable i is “57”, the object is read from the database DB4. The name “MeasSettings” and the property name “TempTarget” are read (see FIG. 10).

  Then, the CPU 31a associates the setting value read in step S8 with the object name and property name read in step S9 and writes them in the setting value transmission data creation area of the RAM 31c (step S10). In the processing of step S10, new setting values, object names, and property names are added to the end of the setting value transmission data created in the previous processing. That is, when the value of the variable i is “7”, “1”, “MeasSettings”, “MaxMeasCount” are added to the end of the data written by the processing of the variable i from “1” to “6”. Data is added. Further, when the value of the variable i is “57”, “250”, “MeasSettings”, “TempTarget” are added to the end of the data written by the processing of the variable i from “1” to “56”. Data is added. After completing the process in step S10, the CPU 31a returns the process to step S3.

  In step S3, when the value of the variable i is N or more (No in step S3), the CPU 31a transmits the set value transmission data created by the above processing to the particle analyzer 2 (step S11). When the CPU 29a of the particle analyzer 2 receives the set value transmission data from the data processing device 3 (Yes in step S12), one of the set values included in the set value transmission data (the set value transmission data) Of the first set value) is selected as a setting target (step S13). Next, the CPU 29a sets the property of the object identified by the object name and property name associated with the setting value to be set with the setting value (step S14). In the above example, the property 29k (property name “MaxMeasCount”) of the object 29f (object name “MeasSettings”) is set with the setting value “1”, and the property 29j (property name “TempTarget”) of the object 29f is set. The value “250” is set. Then, the CPU 29a determines whether or not a setting value not selected as a setting target exists in the setting value transmission data (step S15). If it exists (Yes in step S15), the next setting value is set. It selects as a setting object (step S16), and returns a process to step S14. In step S15, when the setting value not selected as the setting target is not included in the setting value transmission data (No in step S15), the CPU 29a ends the process.

  Here, the processing in the case of starting the measurement of the sample by the particle analyzer 2 has been described. However, the setting of the object and property of the similar control program 29e is also executed at the time of starting and resetting the particle analyzer 2. The When the particle analyzer 2 is activated, the setting value transmission data is not created with the setting value in which “1” is set in the flag 1 as in the above measurement start, but “1” is set in the flag 2. Setting value transmission data is created with the set setting value. When the particle analyzer 2 is reset, setting transmission data is created with a setting value in which “1” is set in the flag 3. Since the setting process at the time of starting or resetting the particle analyzer 2 is the same as the process at the start of measurement except that the flag 2 or the flag 3 is used instead of the flag 1, the description thereof is omitted.

  Next, the operation of the measurement system 1 when the particle analyzer 2 finishes the measurement will be described. FIG.19 and FIG.20 is a flowchart which shows the flow of operation | movement of the measurement system 1 in such a case. When the measurement of the sample is completed, the CPU 29a of the particle analyzer 2 secures an area for generating transmission data (hereinafter referred to as measurement result transmission data) in the RAM 29c (hereinafter referred to as a measurement result transmission data generation area) ( Step S21). Next, the CPU 29a selects one object of the control program 29e (step S22), and selects one property of this object (step S23). Then, the value of the selected property is read (step S24), and the value, the name of the selected object, and the name of the selected property are written in the measurement result transmission data creation area (step S25). In the process of step S26, new values, object names, and property names are added to the end of the measurement result transmission data created in the previous process. For example, when the property 29i (property name “OLensUnit”) of the object 29f (object name “MeasSettings”) is selected, the value (for example, “2”) of the property 29i at that time is read and “ The data “MeasSettings”, “MaxMeasCount”, and “2” are added to the end of the measurement result transmission data being created.

  The CPU 29a determines whether or not an unselected property exists in the selected object (step S26). If an unselected property exists (Yes in step S26), the CPU 29a determines whether the unselected property exists. Is selected (step S27), and the process returns to step S24. In step S26, if there is no unselected property in the selected object, that is, if all the properties of this object have already been selected (No in step S26), the CPU 29a is not selected. It is determined whether or not an object of the control program 29e exists (step S28). If an unselected object exists (Yes in step S28), one of the unselected objects is selected (step S28). S29), the process is returned to step S23. Further, when there is no unselected object, that is, when all the objects are already selected (No in step S28), the CPU 29a transmits the created measurement result transmission data to the data processing device 3 ( Step S30). In the following, the value “1” associated with the object name “MeasSettings” and the property name “MaxMeasCount” and the value “associated with the object name“ MeasSettings ”and the property name“ TempTarget ”are as described above. 160 ”, a value“ 5000 ”associated with the object name“ LimResult ”and the property name“ Density ”, a value“ 9.8 ”associated with the object name“ LimResult ”and the property name“ DSSizeRatio ”, and the object name A case where each data of the value “71.4” associated with “LimResult” and the property name “DMSizeRatio” is included in the measurement result transmission data will be described.

  When the CPU 31a of the data processing device 3 receives the measurement result transmission data from the particle analysis device 2 (Yes in step S31), the measurement result transmission data is stored in the RAM 31c (step S32). Next, the CPU 31a sets a variable j indicating the ID of the received item to 0 (step S33), and creates a new record in the databases DB6 and DB7 (step S34). Next, the CPU 31a determines whether or not the value of the variable j is less than the maximum ID value n registered in the ID field 38a (see FIG. 11) of the database DB5 (step S35). If it is less than n (Yes in step S35), the value of variable j is incremented by 1 (step S36).

  Next, the CPU 31a reads the data in the object field 39e and the property field 39f from the record having the same ID as the value of the variable j in the database DB5 (step S37). For example, when the value of the variable j is “7”, the CPU 31a reads the object name “MeasSettings” and the property name “MaxMeasCount” from the database DB5, and when the value of the variable j is “57”, the object is read from the database DB5. Read the name “MeasSettings” and the property name “TempTarget”. When the value of the variable j is “177”, the CPU 31a reads the object name “LimResult” and the property name “Density” from the database DB5. When the value of the variable j is “178”, the CPU 31a reads the object name from the database DB5. The name “LimResult” and the property name “DSSizeRatio” are read. If the value of the variable j is “178”, the object name “LimResult” and the property name “DMSizeRatio” are read from the database DB5.

  Next, the CPU 31a reads values corresponding to the object name and property name acquired in the process of step S37 from the measurement result transmission data stored in the RAM 31c (step S38). That is, when the value of the variable j is “7”, the CPU 31a reads the value “1” corresponding to the object name “MeasSettings” and the property name “MaxMeasCount” from the measurement result transmission data, and the value of the variable j Is “177”, the value “5000” corresponding to the object name “LimResult” and the property name “Density” is read.

  Next, the CPU 31a reads the data in the output table field 39c and the output field field 39d from the record having the same ID as the value of the variable j in the database DB5 (step S39). For example, when the value of the variable j is “7”, the CPU 31a reads the output table data “MRESULT” and the output field data “MaxMeasCount” from the database DB5, and when the value of the variable i is “177”, the database DB5 The output table data “ANARESULT” and the output field data “Density” are read from (see FIG. 11).

  Then, the CPU 31a writes the value read in step S38 into the newly added record in the database field specified by the output table data and output field data read in step S39 (step S40). That is, when the value of the variable j is “7”, the CPU 31a delimits the value “1” in the metadata field 310c in the record (record number “5” in FIG. 12) added in step S34 of the database DB6. Add “1,” with the symbol “,” added. This is because the metadata field 310c stores a set of data in which a plurality of property values are separated by “,”. When the value of the variable j is “177”, the CPU 31a sets the value “5000” in the particle concentration field 311b in the record (record with the record number “5” in FIG. 13) added in step S34 of the database DB7. Write. After completing the process in step S40, the CPU 31a returns the process to step S35. In step S35, when the value of the variable j is n or more (No in step S35), the CPU 31a ends the process.

  With the above configuration, the set values of the particle analyzer 2 are stored in the data fields 35g and 36b of the database DB1 and the database DB2, and the set values are set in the input table field 38c and the input item field 38d of the database DB4. Since the input table name and input item name for specifying the storage area are stored, the input table name and input item name in which desired setting values are stored are obtained from the database DB4, and the input table name and input item are obtained. A desired set value can be read by accessing the area specified by the item name. Since the object name and property name to be set are stored in the object field 38e and property field 38f of the database DB4, the object name and property name to be set are acquired from the database DB4 and specified by the object name. The setting value can be set to a property specified by the property name of the object. In addition, by doing this, for example, when setting items are added or setting values are changed, necessary ones of the databases DB1 to DB4 are corrected without updating the application program 34a. It just needs to be done and does not require cumbersome work.

  In addition, the measurement device of the type which is different from the particle analysis device 2 such as a blood analysis device, a urine analysis device, a stool analysis device, etc., uses a component related to the setting function of the measurement device of the application program 34a, and is a target measurement device. By preparing databases DB1 to DB4 tailored to the above, it is possible to easily realize a setting function adapted to the measuring device, and to reduce the design man-hours and development man-hours of the setting function of the measuring device as compared with the conventional case. Is possible.

  Further, the measurement result transmission data transmitted from the particle analyzer 2 to the data processor 3 includes the value of the property in association with the object name and the property name, and the object field 39e and the property field 39f of the database DB5 Since the object name and property name of the control program 29e are stored, it is possible to specify the value that needs to be registered in the databases DB6 and DB7 and the object and property corresponding to the value. The fields 310b, 310c, and 311b to 311i of the database DB6 and the database DB7 can store setting states (setting values) and measurement results at the time of measurement of the particle analyzer 2, and output table fields 39c and output field fields of the database DB5. 39d stores the output table name and output field name of the storage destination of the value in association with the object name and property name, so the output table name and output field name to be stored are obtained from the database DB5, and the output A value included in the transmitted measurement result transmission data can be stored in the area specified by the table name and the output field name. In addition, by doing this, for example, when adding measurement result data to be registered in the database or changing the registration destination database of the measurement result data, the database DB5 can be stored without updating the application program 34a. It is only necessary to correct necessary ones of DB7, and no complicated work is required.

  Moreover, the components related to the measurement result management function of the measurement device of the application program 34a are also used for measurement devices of a different type from the particle analysis device 2, such as a blood analysis device, a urine analysis device, and a stool analysis device. By preparing the databases DB5 to DB7 according to the measuring device, the measurement result management function adapted to the measuring device can be easily realized, and the design man-hours and development man-hours of the measuring result management function of the measuring device can be conventionally achieved. It becomes possible to reduce compared.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the database DB2 may be specified as a read target by the input table name “SOPMDT”.

  In the present embodiment, not the setting value read from the database DB2 of the hard disk 31d but the setting value stored in the RAM 31c is read and transmitted to the particle analysis device 2 for setting the particle analysis device 2.
