Controller for an analyzer
First Claim
1. A controller for an analytical instrument built in the analytical instrument, comprising:
- a device controlling circuit for controlling the analytical instrument;
a network interface circuit for connecting the analytical instrument to a network; and
built-in programs including a server program for performing a communication through the network interface using a predetermined communication protocol between the analytical instrument and an external terminal,wherein the server program performs processes ofsending information of an operating status of the analytical instrument to the external terminal on receiving a request for the operating status information from the external terminal,setting a control parameter of the analytical instrument using the device controlling circuit on receiving a request for setting the control parameter from the external terminal, andstarting an analysis, halting the analysis and stopping the analysis on receiving a request for start, halt and stop respectively from the external terminal.

Abstract
A built-in analyzer controller including: a device controlling circuit for controlling the hardware of an analyzer; a network interface circuit for connecting the analyzer to a network; and built-in programs including a server program for performing a communication through the network interface using a predetermined communication protocol between the analyzer and an external terminal. The server program performs the processes of: sending information of the operating status of the analyzer to the external terminal on receiving a request for the same from the external terminal; and setting a control parameter of the analyzer using the device controlling circuit on receiving a request for setting the control parameter from the external terminal. Using the analyzer controller, the user can monitor and control an analyzer or analyzers connected to a LAN from a remote place, without requiring special programs, and at low cost.
