Abstract: Each ECU transmits a frame to a frame generator. Then, the frame generator decomposes data contained in the received frame and then stores the data into a buffer memory, for each message type. The frame generator generates a message containing data to be transmitted to each ECU, and then transmits the message. Based on the state of a signal indicating the electric power supply status, the frame generator controls the permission or non-permission of transmission processing such that frame transmission is not performed to the ECU to which electric power supply from an electric power supply control device. When any communication part has received an abnormal frame, the frame generator does not include data contained in frames received afterward by the communication part, into a frame generated for other communication parts.

Abstract: There are provided an analyzing system and a control method thereof which are capable of preventing a discrepancy from arising between a condition set by using a condition setting device and a condition set by using an operation section of each unit. Setting of a condition using the operation section is restricted at each unit controlled by a control device at least when transmission/reception of data is being performed between the condition setting device and the control device. Accordingly, a different condition is not set by using the operation section of each unit when data of a condition set by using the condition setting device is transmitted to the control device. Thus, a discrepancy may be prevented from arising between the condition set by using the condition setting device and a condition set by using the operation section of each unit.

Abstract: Prior to multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) measurement condition optimization, an analysis operator prepares, for each precursor ion of an objective compound, two lists on a product-ion selection condition setting screen 200, i.e. a list 203 which shows ions to be preferentially selected as product ions for which the optimization needs to be performed and a list 202 which shows ions to be excluded from the optimization. When a measurement is performed, a product-ion scan measurement for the precursor ion of the objective compound is performed and a spectrum is obtained. Among the ions extracted from this spectrum, any ion registered in the excludable-ion list 202 is excluded, while any ion registered in the preferred-ion list 203 is preferentially selected as a product ion. For each combination of the m/z values of the precursor ion and the product ions thus determined, optimum conditions of the MRM measurement are searched for.
