Abstract
The present invention is a sample processing apparatus. The apparatus includes: a sample processing unit configured to process a sample; a display; a memory for storing an electronic manual for the sample processing apparatus; and a controller that is capable of showing a relevant part of the electronic manual on the display when a trouble has occurred in the sample processing unit, the relevant part of the electronic manual describing an operation procedure to deal with the trouble.
Claims34
A sample processing apparatus, comprising:
- a sample processing unit configured to process a sample;
- a display;
- a computer connected with the sample processing unit and with the display, and comprising a non-transitory memory configured to store an electronic manual for the sample processing apparatus, wherein
- the non-transitory memory is further configured to store link information designating a part of the electronic manual with respects to each type of error in association with types of errors,
- the computer is programmed to determine that an error has occurred in the sample processing unit and to read out the link information from the non-transitory memory upon determination that an error has occurred, and makes the display to show the part of the electronic manual designated with the link information according to the type of the occurred error.
A method for guiding execution of error-solving operation, the method being executed by a computer of a sample processing apparatus to implement:
- processing and analyzing a sample by a sample processing apparatus;
- detecting an occurrence of an error in the sample processing apparatus;
- upon a detection of the error, reading out link information which designates, in association with a type of detected error, a certain page of an electronic manual in which an error-solving procedure corresponding to the detected error is described, the electronic manual having a plurality of pages in sequence;
- and
- displaying, on a display of the sample processing apparatus, a view of the designated page of the electronic manual.
A computer-implemented method for a sample processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- detecting an occurrence of an error in the sample processing apparatus;
- creating, based on a type of the error detected, a view of a certain page of an electronic manual of the sample processing apparatus in which an error-solving procedure corresponding to the detected error is described, the electronic manual having a plurality of pages in sequence;
- and
- displaying, on a display of the sample processing apparatus, the created view of the electronic manual.
A sample processing apparatus, comprising:
- a sample processing unit configured to process a sample;
- a display;
- a computer connected with the sample processing unit and with the display, and comprising a non-transitory memory configured to store an electronic manual for the sample processing apparatus, wherein
- the non-transitory memory is further configured to store link information designating a part of the electronic manual with respects to each type of error in association with types of errors,
- the computer is programmed to determine that an error has occurred in the sample processing unit and to read out the link information from the non-transitory memory upon determination that an error has occurred, and makes the display to show the part of the electronic manual designated with the link information according to the type of the occurred error.
