An aging degradation correction unit corrects the measurement data taken at or after the first elapsed time, based on the output difference data.

Abstract: A save folder to be used in order for an analysis data acquisition device to save an analysis data file in a storage is created by a creator. When a file determiner determines that the analysis data file is saved in the created save folder, the analysis data file saved in the save folder is registered by a registrator in an analysis database of a database storage device. When an end determiner determines that an instruction for ending registration of the analysis data file in the analysis database has been given, a region processor makes the save folder unavailable for the registration of the analysis data file in the analysis database.

Abstract: Adjusting variable delay circuit 311, receiving signal S1, is connected to the input of drive circuit 312. A time point t1, when the output potential of drive circuit 312 traverses reference potential VA between the potential Va of traveling wave V1F of the output potential and 0 V, is detected by comparator 52 for detecting the front edge of V1F, detecting variable delay circuit 50 for delaying signal S1 and D flip-flop 51 for holding the output of comparator 52 at the timing of front edge of the signal outputted from delay circuit 50. A time point t2, when the output potential of drive circuit 312 traverses reference potential VB between the superimposed potential of traveling wave V1F and reflected wave V1B and VA, is detected by comparator 62 for detecting the front edge of V1B, detecting variable delay circuit 60 for delaying signal S1 and D flip-flop 61 for holding the output of comparator 62 at the timing of front edge of the signal outputted from delay circuit 60.
