That is, the output signal SigO indirectly indicates the bending amount B of the device under test 1 in the horizontal direction at a predetermined time. More specifically, when the value DV of the output signal SigO ⁇ reference value SiV is positive, it indicates that the rightward bending amount B of the device under test 1 increases (the leftward bending amount B decreases). When the value DV of the output signal SigO-reference value SiV is negative, it indicates that the rightward bending amount B of the device under test 1 is decreasing (the leftward bending amount B is increasing).
- the feature amount generation circuit 11 can calculate the bending amount B in the horizontal direction of the device under test 1 at a predetermined time by integrating the value DV of the output signal SigO ⁇ the reference value SiV over time.

- the feature amount generation circuit 11 outputs the feature amount F to the communication unit 12 (FIG. 5: step S15).
- the data amount of the impact time InT and the bending amount B of the object 1 at the impact time InT is smaller than the data amount of the output signal SigO.
