Biological information measuring instrument, and method, device, and computer-readable storage medium containing a program for controlling the instrument

A method of controlling a biological information measuring instrument including:

• a biological information acquisition unit configured to measure a living body to acquire biological information on the living body;
• and an alarm unit configured to produce an alarm for reducing body movements of the living body, the method comprising the control step of controlling the biological information acquisition unit and the alarm unit,
• wherein:
• the alarm unit starts the alarm at an alarm starting time and ends the alarm at an alarm ending time;
• the biological information acquisition unit starts acquisition of the biological information at an acquisition starting time;
• and
• the control step includes setting the acquisition starting time so as to fall in a prescribed range of time defined using the alarm starting time as a reference.
