7. A program for a sample processing apparatus for processing a sample comprising the steps of:
-
receiving an instruction from an input device given by a user inputting the instruction which is concerned with information of an operation executed by the sample processing apparatus, the information being received from a supplier supplying the information of the executed operation through a communicator and recorded as predetermined data, the instruction being inputted after the operation has been executed by the sample processing apparatus; and
displaying a simulated result supplied by a calculating means for calculating the operation of the sample processing apparatus and for simulating the previously executed operation according to the instruction, wherein the simulated result includes occurrence of an abnormality. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9)
