DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to an inspection apparatus for analyzing a specific component in a specimen, and an information processing apparatus for managing an inspection by the inspection apparatus and processing and managing an inspection result. The apparatus and the information processing apparatus relate to a sample test system, a sample test method, and a storage medium for operating the test apparatus, which can transmit and receive data to and from each other via a communication line.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, data communication using a computer such as a personal computer has been actively performed. In particular, so-called personal computer communication is used not only for communication between personal computer owners but also in various fields. For example, in an inspection center or the like, data such as an inspection result by an inspection device is transmitted to a host computer at a location remote from the inspection device via a communication line, and the inspection result by the inspection device is centrally managed in one place. It is also used as such.

[0003] In an inspection center or the like, an extremely large number of samples of the same type must be inspected. Therefore, a plurality of inspection devices of the same type are arranged. In such a case, it is necessary to unify setting conditions among the plurality of inspection devices, for example, measurement conditions such as measurement sensitivity.

[0004]

However, in a facility where a plurality of the same inspection devices are arranged as described above, when the setting conditions, for example, the measurement conditions such as the measurement sensitivity, are changed, the plurality of the inspection devices may be changed. The setting conditions were manually changed one by one manually.

However, changing the setting conditions of each inspection apparatus by manual input one by one requires a great deal of labor such as manual labor and time. In addition, if a large amount of time is spent changing the setting conditions of each test apparatus, the properties of the prepared sample change, and the sample cannot be tested in a desired state. In addition, when the setting conditions of each test device are changed by manual input, there is a high possibility that an input error or the like will occur, and if the sample is measured under the setting conditions input due to the input error, the value that should be measured originally And different values will be measured.

The present invention was conceived under the circumstances described above, and in a facility having a plurality of inspection apparatuses of the same type, such as an inspection center, it is necessary to set conditions for a plurality of inspection apparatuses. A sample test system that can change the setting conditions to the same setting conditions without fail and collectively,
An object of the present invention is to provide a sample test method and a storage medium for operating the test apparatus.

Next, the operation of the thus-configured sample test system will be described. First, when the changed setting condition is input to the information processing device 12 by the operator, the inspection device 32 to change the setting condition is selected from the information processing device 12 side. Next, the changed data is transmitted to one of the selected inspection devices 32. The inspection device 32 that has received the data determines whether the checksum of the received data is normal, and notifies the information processing device 12 of the result. Information processing device 12
Indicates that the notification sent from the inspection device 32
Is not received normally, or when the notification is not sent from the inspection device 32 within a predetermined time, the changed data is retransmitted to the inspection device 32.
When the inspection device 32 receives the changed data normally, it changes the existing data to the received data. Note that an operation for changing the setting conditions of the inspection device 32 as described above is performed on all the selected inspection devices 32.

Next, the procedure of the changing process of the sample test system thus configured will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the change processing on the information processing apparatus 12 side.
The procedure of the change process on the two sides will be described. It is assumed that the information processing device 12 and the inspection device 32 in the present embodiment are arranged in the same building or different buildings separated from each other, and mutually transmit and receive data via a communication line.

First, the processor 1 determines whether or not the operator has input a changed setting condition to the information processing apparatus 12 (S1). When the processor 1 determines that the changed setting condition has been input (S1: YES),
Subsequently, the inspection device 32 for which the operator should change the setting condition
Is selected, and the processor 1 determines whether or not the selection by the operator has been completed (S2). The information processing apparatus 12 selects the inspection apparatus 32 whose setting condition is to be changed by selecting an address number or an ID number assigned to each inspection apparatus 32. In addition, the inspection device 3 for which the setting conditions by the processor 1 should be changed.
The end of the selection 2 is determined based on whether or not a selection end command is input by the operator.

In S2, when the processor 1 determines that the selection of the inspection device 32 whose setting condition is to be changed is not completed (S2: NO), the processor 1 of the inspection device 32 whose setting condition is to be changed by the processor 1 is determined. The above determination is repeated until it is determined that the selection has been completed. When the processor 1 determines that the selection of the inspection device 32 for which the setting condition is to be changed is completed (S2: YES), the operator sends an instruction to transmit the input changed setting condition to the inspection device 32 by the operator. The processor 1 determines whether or not the input has been made (S3).

In S3, when the processor 1 determines that the instruction to transmit the input changed setting condition has not been input by the operator (S3: N
O), the above determination is repeated until it is determined that the processor 1 has input an instruction to transmit the input changed setting conditions to the inspection device 32.

In S3, when the processor 1 determines that an instruction to transmit the input changed setting conditions to the inspection device 32 has been input by the operator (S3).
3: YES), the data of the changed setting condition is transmitted from the information processing device 12 to the inspection device 32 (S4), and a timer is set (S5). Note that a timer of a countdown type is used as the timer in the present embodiment. Specifically, an integer variable N is set according to the time at which the timer should be set.
Is set, and the value of the variable N is sequentially reduced by 1 in synchronization with a clock signal of a predetermined cycle, and the time is up when the variable N becomes 0.

Next, it is determined whether or not a notification that the changed setting condition data transmitted from the information processing device 12 by the processor 1 has been received has been transmitted from the inspection device 32 (S6). If the processor 1 determines that the notification has not been sent from the inspection device 32 (S6: N
O), the processor 1 monitors the timer and determines whether the time is up, that is, whether the variable N is 0 (S9). Processor 1 is not timed up, that is, variable N is 0
If it is determined that there is no notification (S9: NO), the processor 1 determines whether the notification has been sent (S6: YE).
S), or wait until the time is up, that is, until it is determined that the variable N is 0 (S9: YES).

In S6, the processor 1 sends the
If it is determined that a notification that the changed data has been received has been sent from S2 (S6: YES), it is determined whether the notification is a notification that the inspection apparatus 32 has normally received normal data. Is determined (S7). The determination as to whether the inspection device 32 by the processor 1 has normally received the changed setting condition data sent from the information processing device 12 is as follows.
The determination is made based on the value of the flag sent from the inspection device 32 side. Specifically, when the inspection device 32 receives the normal reception, the value of the flag is set to 0, and when the reception is not normally performed, the value of the flag is set to 1, and the inspection device 32 The value of this flag is transmitted, and the processor 1 determines from this value whether or not the inspection device 32 has received normally.

In S7, when the processor 1 determines that the notification is a notification that the inspection apparatus 32 has not received the normal data of the changed setting condition (S7: N
O) Or, in S9, when the processor 1 determines that the time is up, that is, the variable N is 0 (S9).
9: YES), the processor 1 re-transmits the changed setting condition data from the information processing apparatus 12 to the inspection apparatus 32 (S10).

In S7, when the processor 1 determines that the notification received by the information processing device 12 is a notification that the inspection device 32 has normally received the changed data (S7:
(YES), or when retransmission is performed in S10, it is determined whether or not the setting conditions have been changed for all the inspection devices 32 to be changed in the setting conditions selected in S1 (S8).

In S8, if the processor 1 determines that the set conditions have not been changed for all the inspection devices 32 whose set conditions are to be changed (S8:
NO), returning to S4, transmitting the changed data to the other selected inspection device 32 in which the setting condition has not been changed, and thereafter repeating the same operation.

If the processor 1 determines in S1 that the changed setting condition has not been input (S1: N
O), or if the processor 1 determines in step S8 that the setting conditions have been changed for all the inspection devices 32 whose setting conditions should be changed (S8: YE).
S), this routine ends.

Next, the procedure of the change process on the inspection device 32 side will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the CPU 21 determines whether or not there has been a request from the information processing apparatus 12 to transmit the changed setting conditions (S21). When the CPU 21 determines that there is a request to transmit the changed setting condition (S21: YES), the CPU 21 receives the changed setting condition data sent from the information processing device 12 (S22).

Subsequently, the CPU 21 operates the information processing device 12
It is determined whether or not the reception of the data of the changed setting condition sent from the server is completed (S23). If the CPU 21 determines that the data of the changed setting condition sent from the information processing device 12 has not been received (S2
3: NO), the above determination is repeated until the CPU 21 determines that the data reception has been completed.

In S23, when the CPU 21 determines that the reception of the changed setting condition data sent from the information processing apparatus 12 is completed (S23: YE
S), it is determined whether or not the checksum is normal (S)
24).

In S24, if the CPU 21 determines that the checksum is normal (S24: YES),
Normal data has been received normally, so C
The PU 21 notifies the information processing device 12 that it has received the normal data after the change of the setting condition (S25). Specifically, if the checksum is normal, the flag is set to 0, and this value is transmitted to the information processing device 12 under the control of the CPU 21. Subsequently, the CPU 21 executes the program stored in the ROM 22 to change the data of the changed setting condition after receiving the existing setting condition stored in the RAM 23 (S27).

In S24, if the CPU 21 determines that the checksum is not normal (S26: NO), it means that normal data could not be received, so C
The PU 21 notifies the information processing device 12 that it has not received the normal data after the change of the setting condition, that is, notifies the information processing device 12 with the flag set to 1 (S26).

When the CPU 21 changes the existing setting condition stored in the RAM 23 to the changed setting condition data received (S27), it is notified that the CPU 21 did not receive the normal data after the setting condition change. When notified to the information processing device 12 (S26), or in S21, the CP
If U21 determines that there is no request for transmission of the changed setting condition from the information processing device 12 (S1: NO), this routine ends.

According to such a sample testing system, when setting conditions are changed in a facility where a plurality of testing devices 32 of the same type are arranged, the plurality of testing devices 32 are used.
The setting conditions of the inspection apparatus 32 selected by operating the information processing apparatus 12 connected to the inspection apparatus via a communication line without changing the setting conditions of the inspection apparatuses one by one manually are collectively set. Can be changed. That is, the setting conditions of the plurality of inspection devices 32 can be changed without requiring much labor such as manpower and time. Further, the possibility of an input error, which is incidental to the change of the setting condition by the conventional manual input, is extremely low.

Further, in the sample test system according to the present embodiment, a notification as to whether the changed setting condition data is normally received from the test device 32 is sent to the information processing device 12, The operator on the 12 side can determine whether or not the data of the changed setting condition transmitted from the information processing device 12 has been normally received by the inspection device 32. That is, as in the present embodiment, the operator on the information processing apparatus 12 side can respond by retransmitting the inspection apparatus 32 so as not to be set to an incorrect setting condition, and the setting condition of the inspection apparatus 32 is incorrect. It is possible to avoid that the test of the sample is performed in the state where the sample is kept.

Of course, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the transmission and reception of data between the information processing device 12 and the inspection device 32 may be performed using a LAN (local area network) as a communication line, or not limited to using a telephone line as a communication line. It may be.

The selection of the inspection device 32 to which the changed setting condition is to be transmitted is an optional matter, and in a facility where only a plurality of the same type of inspection device 32 are arranged, the changed setting condition is used. It is not necessary to select the inspection device 32 to which the condition is to be transmitted. In a facility where a plurality of types of inspection devices 32 are arranged, a specific type of inspection device 32 is selected from the plurality of types of inspection devices 32. You may comprise so that it may select.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when the information processing apparatus 12 has not been notified that the changed setting condition data has been received from the inspection apparatus 32 within the predetermined time, Inspection device 32 sent
Was a notification that the normal data could not be received, the data was retransmitted, but whether to retransmit the data is an optional matter, No need to do. Further, when the information processing device 12 retransmits the data, a notification that the data has been received from the inspection device 32 may be sent to the information processing device 12.
