  • Publication number: 20240127017
    Abstract: The analysis apparatus according to the present invention is capable of setting parameters and user authentication, which do not require key input. When a specific analysis apparatus is set so as to measure a specific type of data, a plurality of required parameters are converted to data having a format suitable for a relay medium and the converted data is recorded in the relay medium. An importing unit imports the plurality of parameters from the relay medium. A restoration unit is used to obtain, from the imported parameters, each parameter in the pre-conversion format thereof. The individual obtained parameters are transferred to a setting unit and set to a required setting destination. This being the case, the replay medium is created according to the support from a management device of a manufacturer and a repeater.

  • Publication number: 20230112726
    Abstract: An oil deterioration detection device performs an analysis based on impedances at at least three first specific frequencies selected from a first frequency range to calculate an arc of impedance on a Nyquist diagram, the impedances being measured by applying an AC voltage at the at least three first specific frequencies to counter electrodes when oil to be evaluated passes between the counter electrodes, and when the calculated arc is larger than a reference arc calculated in advance of the oil to be evaluated by a predetermined value or larger, determines that moisture is mixed and calculates the amount of moisture based on the shape of the calculated arc.
