Abstract: According to one embodiment, an automatic analyzing apparatus includes a probe and a liquid level detector. The liquid level detector is electrically connected to the probe and detects contact between the probe and a liquid surface, wherein the liquid level detector comprises an adjuster configured to adjust electrostatic capacitance of one or more capacitors for circuitry for use in liquid level detection.

Abstract: The invention concerns a system configuration setting method and a transmission apparatus, and simplifies system reconfiguration operations. The transmission apparatus comprises an HMI control block 1, a main control block 2, a line connection block 3, high-speed units 4 and 5, low-speed units 6 to 8, and a power supply unit 9, wherein the high-speed and low-speed units are managed by the main control block 2, whose management information is also stored in the HMI control block 1. A system reconfiguration command associated with a unit insertion, removal, etc. is entered into the transmission apparatus from a terminal 10.
