Data management computer, sample analyzing system, and computer program

A sample analyzing system comprising:

• one or more sample measuring apparatuses for measuring a sample;
• a first computer that includes a data storage device for storing results of measurements for the sample obtained by the sample measuring apparatus, the measurements including an initial measurement for the sample and a secondary measurement which is performed on the sample following the initial measurement;
• a data management computer communicably connected to the first computer, wherein
• the data management computer includes a display section;
• an input device;
• and a controller which is programmed to:
• cause the display section to display a first result screen which shows a result of the initial measurement for the sample, wherein the first result screen includes an object for receiving an instruction to display a second result screen which shows a result of the secondary measurement for the sample with the first result screen;
• receive the instruction by use of the input device while displaying the first result screen;
• and
• cause the display section to display, in a response to the instruction, the second result screen, wherein
• the result screen includes at least a numerical list region and a distribution diagram region, the numerical list region including numerical values for a plurality of measurement items, and the distribution diagram region including a distribution diagram of a component contained in the sample.
