Abstract
A data checking apparatus receives and checks observation data on a plurality of observation items including first and second observation items. The observation data is obtained by analyzing a single object with a plurality of analyzers including first and second analyzers. The apparatus includes an input device for inputting, beforehand, correlation data indicating correlation among the plurality of observation items, a memory for storing the input correlation data, a judgment device for cross-checking the observation data on the plurality of items to judge as to whether the received observation data conforms to the stored correlation data, and an output device for outputting results of the judgment.
Claims8
An apparatus for checking observation data obtained by analyzing a specimen with a plurality of analyzers, comprising:
- a first analyzer for analyzing a specimen by a first method to obtain first observation data on one or more first observation items;
- a second analyzer for analyzing the specimen by a second method to obtain second observation data on one or more second observation items;
- input means for inputting, prior to an analysis operation by the first and second analyzers, correlation data indicating a desired correlation between the first and second observation items to evaluate reliability of the first and second observation data;
- storage means for storing the input correlation data, the stored correlation data being represented as an area on a two dimensional coordinate system defined by parameters representing the first and the second observation items;
- judgement means for making a judgment as to whether the first and second observation data conform to the stored correlation data based on whether coordinates representative of the first and second observation data are within the area;
- output means for outputting results of the judgement;
- and
- display means for displaying the coordinate system representing the stored correlation data and a sign representative of the coordinates of the first and second observation data on the coordinate system.

- receiving means for receiving first observation data on a first observation item obtained by analyzing a specimen with a first method and second observation data on a second observation item obtained by analyzing the specimen with a second method;
- input means for inputting correlation data indicating a desired correlation between the first and second observation items to evaluate reliability of the first and second observation data;
- storage means for storing the input correlation data, the stored correlation data being represented as an area on a two-dimensional coordinate system defined by parameters representing the first and second observation items;
- judgment means for making a judgment as to whether the received first and second observation data conform to the input correlation data based on whether coordinates representative of the first and second observation data are within the area;
- output means for outputting results of the judgment;
- and
- display means for displaying the coordinate system representing the stored correlation data and a sign representative of the coordinates of the first and second observation data on the coordinate system.
