ANALYSIS APPARATUS AND ANALYSIS METHOD
First Claim
1. An analysis apparatus comprising:
- a threshold-value setting unit configured to set a type of a recording medium to be analyzed and a threshold value;
a calculating unit configured to calculate a physical quantity concerning the recording medium when the recording medium is being conveyed in a conveying path that is designed and to store the calculated physical quantity in a storage unit; and
an output unit configured to output the physical quantity on a cycle shorter than that in a case where an amount of variation in the physical quantity calculated by the calculating unit exceeds the threshold value, if the amount of variation in the physical quantity is less than the threshold value.

Abstract
A recording-medium-type setting unit selects a type of a recording medium to be analyzed on the basis of information input with an input unit. A threshold-value setting unit sets a threshold value on which the determination of whether the calculation result is output in a file is based for each recording medium type selected by the recording-medium-type setting unit. An amount-of-variation calculating unit calculates the reaction force for every time step, stores the reaction force in the current time step in time integration in a RAM during the calculation, and monitors the amount of variation in the reaction force between each time step and the next time step. A file-output controlling unit calculates the difference between the reaction force stored by the amount-of-variation calculating unit and the reaction force in the current time step and, if the difference is larger than the threshold value, performs file output.
