Thin film analyzer and thin-film sample information setting control method in a thin film analyzer

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it easy for a beginner operator to grasp an input operation without making the operator for setting the layer information of a thin film sample feel a psychological resistance by displaying the layer structure of the thin film sample generally imaged by the operator on a display means. SOLUTION: An operator selects and instructs a layer addition instruction button 41 from an input means. The selection instruction is performed by moving a cursor to the layer addition instruction button 41 and inputting the enter key of a keyboard when the input means is the keyboard, and by clicking the layer addition instruction button 41 by a mouse when the input means is a mouse. According to this, a display control means 14 is operated to display a rectangular box B2 showing one layer in the center of a display screen 15. Since only the layer addition instruction button 41 and a base addition/deletion instruction button 42 are displayed on the display screen 15, even a beginner operator hardly requires reading of an operation manual or the explanation from a person familiar to the operation.
