Abstract

The present invention is intended to be able to restore a setting of an exhaust gas analyzing device to an initial setting at the time of product shipment or the latest maintenance setting performed prior to the corresponding maintenance in the maintenance of the exhaust gas analyzing device. The present invention includes a setting data storage part (55) storing initial setting data indicating initial setting information of each part constituting an exhaust gas analyzing device (2) in a state of product shipment and the latest maintenance setting data indicating the latest maintenance setting information of each part constituting the exhaust gas analyzing device (2) in the latest maintenance.

Claims

1. An exhaust gas analyzing device for analyzing components contained in exhaust gas comprising:

a maintenance setting data updating part adapted to overwrite stored maintenance setting data when the stored maintenance setting data is updated with latest maintenance setting data; and

a setting data storage part adapted to store

initial setting data indicating initial setting information of each part constituting the exhaust gas analyzing device in a state of product shipment, and

the latest maintenance setting data indicating latest maintenance setting information of each part constituting the exhaust gas analyzing device in a state of latest maintenance such that the setting data storage part stores the initial setting data and latest maintenance setting data but not previous versions of the stored maintenance setting data, and each part constituting the exhaust gas analyzing device can be returned to an initial setting in response to the initial setting data being selected during maintenance or to a latest maintenance setting in response to the latest maintenance setting data being selected during maintenance, the latest maintenance setting data including items which are included in the initial setting information and items which are not included in the state of product shipment.

2. The exhaust gas analyzing device according to claim 1 further comprising a maintenance setting data updating part adapted to update the latest maintenance setting data stored in the setting data storage part every time the exhaust gas analyzing device is subjected to maintenance.

3. The exhaust gas analyzing device according to claim 1 further comprising a setting reset part adapted to reset the setting of each part constituting the exhaust gas analyzing device to initial setting information indicated by the initial setting data or the latest maintenance setting information indicated by the latest maintenance setting data.

4. The exhaust gas analyzing device according to claim 3 further comprising a display control part adapted to display a setting selection screen on a display for selecting the initial setting information or the latest maintenance setting information, wherein the setting reset part retrieves the setting data indicating the initial setting information or the latest maintenance setting information selected by the setting selection screen from the setting data storage part.

5. A management device for an exhaust gas analyzing device for analyzing components contained in exhaust gas comprising:

a maintenance setting data updating part adapted to overwrite stored maintenance setting data when the stored maintenance setting data is updated with latest maintenance setting data; and

a setting data storage part adapted to store

initial setting data indicating initial setting information of each part constituting the exhaust gas analyzing device in a state of product shipment, and

the latest maintenance setting data indicating latest maintenance setting information of each part constituting the exhaust gas analyzing device in a state of latest maintenance such that the setting data storage part stores the initial setting data and latest maintenance setting data but not previous versions of the stored maintenance setting data, and each part constituting the exhaust gas analyzing device can be returned to an initial setting in response to the initial setting data being selected during maintenance or to a latest maintenance setting in response to the latest maintenance setting data being selected during maintenance, the latest maintenance setting data including items which are included in the initial setting information and items which are not included in the state of product shipment.

6. A management program for an exhaust gas analyzing device for analyzing components contained in exhaust gas, the management program for causing a computer to execute functions as

a maintenance setting data updating part adapted to overwrite stored maintenance setting data when the stored maintenance setting data is updated with latest maintenance setting data, and

a setting data storage part adapted to store

initial setting data indicating initial setting information of each part constituting the exhaust gas analyzing device in a state of product shipment, and

the latest maintenance setting data indicating latest maintenance setting information of each part constituting the exhaust gas analyzing device in a state of latest maintenance such that the setting data storage part stores the initial setting data and latest maintenance setting data but not previous versions of the stored maintenance setting data, and each part constituting the exhaust gas analyzing device can be returned to an initial setting in response to the initial setting data being selected during maintenance or to a latest maintenance setting in response to the latest maintenance setting data being selected during maintenance, the latest maintenance setting data including items which are included in the initial setting information and items which are not included in the state of product shipment.
