Solution Overview

Problem

Analyzers used in different areas often fail to perform specific controls when application programs for other areas are installed, leading to incorrect functionality and loss of particular control in the prescribed area.

Innovation Solution

An analyzer with a measurement section, controller, and memory that allows for separate control and display settings based on specific application programs for different areas, restricting partial functions of secondary application programs when a primary application program is installed and executed.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If application programs for different areas are installed into the analyzer, then the analyzer can perform control for multiple areas, but the analyzer performs control for other areas instead of the prescribed area when the application program for other areas starts

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveability to perform control for multiple areasVSAvoidcorrectness of control for prescribed area

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The invention divides the application program into multiple segments: a common segment that can be shared across different areas, and area-specific segments that contain control logic for particular areas. This segmentation allows the analyzer to maintain multiple area capabilities while ensuring that the prescribed area's control logic is preserved and executed correctly when needed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The invention performs preliminary actions by setting up area identification mechanisms and control logic before the analyzer operates. The system pre-configures which area-specific control logic should be active based on the installed application programs, ensuring that the correct control logic is executed from the start without interference from other area programs.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If application programs for other areas are installed into the analyzer, then the analyzer can display language for different areas, but the particular control for the prescribed area is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedisplay capability for different areasVSAvoidmaintenance of particular control settings

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The invention applies local quality by allowing different display languages and interfaces for different areas while maintaining distinct, area-specific control logic. Each area can have its own display characteristics and language preferences without affecting the underlying control mechanisms for the prescribed area, enabling localized customization without compromising overall system control integrity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

An analyzer includes a second memory enabled to memorize that control by a controller is for first area, the controller controls at least one of measurement, analysis and display to be for a first area when a second application program starts in a case where said second memory memorizes that the control by the controller is for the first area.
