Abstract
A GC assistance device includes a saving amount evaluator, a consumption amount evaluator and an outputter, and is used together with a gas chromatograph. The saving amount evaluator evaluates a saving amount of a resource caused by stopping of the gas chromatograph. The consumption amount evaluator evaluates a consumption amount of the resource caused by recovery of the gas chromatograph from a stop state. The outputter presents an evaluation value in regard to the saving amount and the consumption amount to a user. Alternatively, the outputter controls an operation state of the gas chromatograph based on the evaluation value.
Claims13
A gas chromatograph assistance device that is used together with a gas chromatograph, comprising:
- a stop time period determiner that determines a predicted stop period of time of the gas chromatograph;
- a unit saving amount determiner that determines a saving amount of a resource per unit time in the gas chromatograph as a unit saving amount;
- a saving amount evaluator that evaluates the saving amount of the resource caused by stopping of the gas chromatograph based on the predicted stop period of time and the unit saving amount;
- a consumption amount evaluator that evaluates a consumption amount of the resource caused by recovery of the gas chromatograph from a stop state;
- and
- an outputter that presents an evaluation value in regard to the saving amount and the consumption amount to a user or controls an operation state of the gas chromatograph based on the evaluation value.
A gas chromatograph assistance method, of assisting use of a gas chromatograph, which is performed by a computer, including:
- determining a predicted stop period of time of the gas chromatograph;
- determining a saving amount of a resource per unit time in the gas chromatograph as a unit saving amount;
- evaluating the saving amount of the resource caused by stopping of the gas chromatograph based on the predicted stop period of time and the unit saving amount;
- evaluating a consumption amount of the resource caused by recovery of the gas chromatograph from a stop state;
- and
- presenting an evaluation value in regard to the saving amount and the consumption amount to a user or controlling an operation state of the gas chromatograph based on the evaluation value.
