Abstract

The present invention comprises a biological sample data management device (1) and biological sample measuring devices (2, 3, 4) connected to the biological sample data management device (1). At the biological sample measuring device (2), the brightness of a display section (7) and/or the volume of an operation sound generator (12) is set as a first setting, this first setting is transmitted through the biological sample data management device (1) to the biological sample measuring devices (3, 4), and the brightness of the display section (7) or the volume of the operation sound generator (12) of these biological sample measuring devices (3, 4) is set as a first setting.

Claims

1. A biological sample measurement system, comprising:

first and second biological sample measuring devices that measure biological samples, the first and second biological sample measuring devices each have;

a measurement section that measures biological samples;

a controller that is connected to the measurement section;

a display section that is connected to the controller and displays setting values and measurement results at the measurement section;

a recorder that stores the setting values and the measurement results;

an input section for inputting the setting values; and

a data transceiver for sending and receiving information related to the setting values, at the first biological sample measuring device, the controller transmits information related to setting values that have been updated through the input section to the second biological sample measuring device via the data transceiver, and

at the second biological sample measuring device, the controller updates the setting values on the basis of information related to setting values transmitted from the first biological sample measuring device.

2. The biological sample measurement system according to claim 1,

wherein the setting values include the brightness of the display section.

3. The biological sample measurement system according to claim 1,

further comprising an operation sound generator that generates a beep when the input section is operated,

wherein the setting values include the volume of the beep.

4. The biological sample measurement system according to claim 1,

further comprising a biological sample data management device that sends and receives information related to the setting values to and from the data transceiver of the first and second biological sample measuring devices,

wherein information related to the setting values that is sent from the first biological sample measuring device to the second biological sample measuring device is sent and received via the biological sample data management device.

5. The biological sample measurement system according to claim 1,

further comprising a cradle into which the first and second biological sample measuring devices are placed, and which charges the first and second biological sample measuring devices and has a transceiver for sending and receiving information related to the setting values to and from the first and second biological sample measuring devices,

wherein the cradle sends information related to the setting values from the first biological sample measuring device to the second biological sample measuring device via the transceiver.

6. The biological sample measurement system according to claim 1,

wherein the recorder that stores the setting values is made up of an EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory).

7. The biological sample measurement system according to claim 5,

wherein the cradle has a memory that holds setting data.

8. The biological sample measurement system according to claim 5,

wherein the cradle has a display section that displays the communication status, the charging status, and the setting update status.

9. The biological sample measurement system according to claim 5,

wherein the cradle has a transmission and reception button that starts communication.

10. The biological sample measurement system according to claim 5,

wherein the cradle has a data connector that sends and receives data directly to and from the biological sample measuring devices.

11. The biological sample measurement system according to claim 5,

wherein the biological sample measuring devices have a data connector that sends and receives data directly to and from the cradle.

12. The biological sample measurement system according to claim 1,

wherein the biological sample measuring devices have internal device identification codes.
