Abstract

PURPOSE:To grasp the general idea of the characteristics of a sample at a glance, by displaying the result of analysis on a periodic table by a graph colored in correspondence with concentrations. CONSTITUTION:A sample name N is displayed on a display surface. A periodic table T is displayed under the sample name. A color scale C displays the grades of the concentrations of elements in colors. The colors are changed in the order of blue, green, yellow, orange and red from the lower concentration to the higher concentration. The result of analysis is displayed on the display pattern so that each element frame on the periodic table is colored in correspondence with the respective concentration. The place of an element, which is not included in the sample, has no color, i.e., the black ground, on the periodic table. Even in the colored frame, the element symbol is intactly displayed by white character. The format of the table to be displayed is not limited to the periodic table, and a suitable format can be used depending on the scope of the sample to be analyzed and the like.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A. Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a video display device for displaying the results of elemental analysis performed by an optical emission spectrometer or the like.

- Conventional technology For the results of elemental analysis, a table is created that lists the names of various elements in the sample and numbers indicating quantitative values such as concentration or content of those elements, or codes indicating the rank of concentration. It is presented by Such a table can, for example, be used to arrange the names of elements in descending order of content, or in descending order of element content, or to determine the characteristics of a sample substance, chemical classification, etc. from the analysis results shown in such a table. If you try to understand the concept of the sample, you have to read each element name and number listed in the table, put it in your head, use mental operations to extract the characteristics of the sample, and use the analysis results. This is an inconvenient and uninteresting display method for those who do so.

Purpose The present invention is intended to enable conceptual understanding of the characteristics of a sample with the naked eye by displaying analysis results in the form of a graph on a periodic table using a video display device.

2.Analysis in which a color scale is set to display the concentration of constituent elements, and colors corresponding to the concentration of each element are displayed in each element frame of a pattern of an appropriate table such as the periodic table displayed on a cathode ray tube. It is a result display device.

E. Embodiment FIG. 1 shows a display pattern on a display surface in an embodiment of the present invention. The sample name N is displayed at the top of the display screen, and the periodic table T is displayed below it. In this table, the frame line and the symbol of the name element are displayed with white lines.

Color scale C is displayed at the bottom. The color scale displays the concentration of elements in different colors, and the colors change from low to high concentration, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red, on a logarithmic scale of concentration. In this display pattern, the analysis results 1 are displayed in a format in which each element frame on the periodic table is painted in a color corresponding to its respective concentration. Of course, the elements on this periodic table that are not included in the sample are achromatic, that is, they are marked with an X on a black background, and even in colored frames, the element symbols are still displayed in white letters. Of course, if the element symbol is in white, it will be difficult to see when the background color is bright like yellow, so in that case, you can configure the program to make the symbol black, or change the element symbol to a color scale. It may be displayed in color depending on the situation.

Note that the format of the table to be displayed is not limited to the periodic table, and any appropriate format can be used depending on the range of the analysis sample, etc.

FIG. 2 shows the configuration of an apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a keyboard through which an operator inputs element names and concentration data based on analysis results. Reference numeral 2 denotes a color setting memory, and the computer 3 registers the sample name, element name, and color code corresponding to their concentration in the color setting memory by inputting from the keyboard. 4 is a pattern memory into which the periodic table pattern and color scale pattern are input in advance.

When the input from the keyboard is completed, the computer inputs a color code indicating the concentration of the element into each address within the frame of the predetermined element on the pattern memory 4 based on the contents of the color setting memory. Thereafter, the computer scans the pattern memory 4, sequentially reads data at each address, and sends it to the color signal forming circuit 5.

The color signal generation circuit 5 decodes the input color code (the frame lines and characters of the periodic table are white color codes), converts it into a video signal of three primary colors, and inputs it to the color cathode ray tube 6. , to form a pattern as shown in FIG.

Effects The display device of the present invention has the above-described configuration, and the analysis results are not simply a list of letters and numbers, but are displayed as a graph on the periodic table, color-coded by concentration, and the mutual amounts of the constituent elements. Not only can you understand the relationship between ratios at a glance, but also in relation to the periodic table,
The chemical classification of the sample, such as whether the sample is an acidic substance, a basic substance, or a salt, or whether it contains harmful impurities of genus 2 or 5. It is not possible to grasp with a single glance the property that something is included.

Claims (1)

[Claims] It has built-in pattern data that displays a table of elements such as the periodic table, and based on the element name and its quantitative or semi-quantitative data input from the outside, it can specify the corresponding element frame in the above element table for quantitative or semi-quantitative data. The data is set in the specified frame as data colored according to its quantitative rank, and an element table is displayed on the color cathode ray tube in which each element frame is colored according to its concentration. analysis result display device.
