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.
