A unit-type analyzer, comprising:
- a system controller configured to communicate with a plurality of analyzing units by sending commands and receiving responses from the plurality of analyzing units;
- and
- the plurality of analyzing units, with each analyzing unit including:
- a main power switch configured to turn on and off electric power to the analyzing unit;
- a software switch provided separately from the main power switch and configured to turn on and off communication with the system controller based on user input;
- and
- a unit controller configured to:
