## Abstract

A tensile testing machine includes: a testing machine body that executes a tensile test; an instruction reception unit that receives an operation instruction for the testing machine body on the basis of an operation from a user; and an instruction storage unit that stores contents and an order of instruction information indicating the operation instruction, which is received by the instruction reception unit, for the testing machine body.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A material testing machine comprising:
a testing machine body that executes a material test;
an instruction reception unit that receives an operation instruction for the testing machine body which is to be performed during the material test on a basis of an operation from a user, and receives a preparation instruction for a test preparation operation which is to be performed before the material test; and
an instruction storage unit that stores contents and an order of instruction information indicating the operation instruction and the preparation instruction, which is received by the instruction reception unit, for the testing machine body.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The material testing machine according to claim 1, further comprising:
a list generation unit that generates an operation instruction list indicating the contents and the order of the instruction information; and
a display control unit that displays the operation instruction list on a display.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The material testing machine according to claim 2, further comprising:
an operation control unit that operates the testing machine body on a basis of the operation instruction list.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The material testing machine according to claim 3, wherein
the display control unit displays the operation instruction list on the display such that the instruction information corresponding to an operation being executed by the testing machine body is visually recognizable.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The material testing machine according to claim 2, further comprising:
an update unit that receives an update operation of the user for the operation instruction list and updates the operation instruction list in accordance with the update operation.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The material testing machine according to claim 1, further comprising:
a recording unit that records the instruction information in the instruction storage unit.

### Claim 7

A control device of a material testing machine which is communicably connected to a testing machine body executing a material test and controls an operation of the testing machine body, the control device comprising:
an instruction reception unit that receives an operation instruction for the testing machine body which is to be performed during the material test on a basis of an operation from a user, and receives a preparation instruction for a test preparation operation which is to be performed before the material test; and
an instruction storage unit that stores contents and an order of instruction information indicating the operation instruction and the preparation instruction, which is received by the instruction reception unit, for the testing machine body.
