Abstract
A system setup for a sample analysis system having a plurality of analysis units placed along a main conveyor line prior to its analysis operation. The system setup includes setup of analysis units in combination with different types of reagent supply units, setup of analysis routes as to whether it is a stationary type or an automatic type, and setup of analysis items for each analysis unit as to which analysis item should be assigned to which analysis unit having which reagent supply type. These settings are executed through monitoring of setup screens displayed on a screen display unit, and the contents of such a setting are stored and registered in a memory of the controller.
