Abstract

An electrolyte analyzing apparatus according to the present invention includes an A/D converter which converts analogue data output from an ion selective electrode into digital data. The electrolyte analyzing apparatus also includes a data processor which calculates a median of multiple pieces of the digital data converted from multiple pieces of the analogue data output from the ion selective electrode and outputs the median as measurement data of an electrolyte; and a calculator which calculates a concentration of the electrolyte contained in a specimen based on the measurement data of the electrolyte output from the data processor.

Claims (10)

1 . An electrolyte analyzing apparatus, comprising:

an A/D converter which converts analogue data output from an ion selective electrode into digital data;

a data processor which calculates a median of multiple pieces of the digital data converted from multiple pieces of the analogue data output from the ion selective electrode and outputs the median as measurement data of an electrolyte; and

a calculator which calculates a concentration of the electrolyte contained in a specimen based on the measurement data of the electrolyte output from the data processor.

2 . The electrolyte analyzing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the A/D converter employs a delta-sigma conversion system.

3 . The electrolyte analyzing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the ion selective electrode is provided in plural number for each electrolyte as a measurement subject, and

the A/D converter receives the analogue data output from each ion selective electrode in a time division manner.

4 . A measurement data processing method of an electrolyte analyzing apparatus which calculates a concentration of an electrolyte contained in a specimen based on measurement data converted from analogue data output from an ion selective electrode, wherein a median of multiple pieces of digital data converted from multiple pieces of the analogue data output from the ion selective electrode is treated as the measurement data of the electrolyte.

5 . The measurement data processing method of the electrolyte analyzing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the digital data is obtained by performing a delta-sigma A/D conversion on the analogue data.
