Provided are an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and a control method for an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer which are capable of preventing deterioration and breakage of a sample, and contamination of an inside of an apparatus even when an abnormality occurs in the X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. The X-ray fluorescence spectrometer includes: a measuring unit including: a moving mechanism configured to move a sample between a standby position and a measurement position; an X-ray source; a detector; and a first control unit; and an information processing unit including: an analysis unit; and a second control unit configured to control the measuring unit by communicating with the first control unit, the first control unit including retreat controller configured to perform retreat control for causing the moving mechanism to retreat the sample present at the measurement position to the standby position when communication between the first control unit and the second control unit is interrupted.

X-ray fluorescence spectrometer and control method for x-ray fluorescence spectrometer

An analyzing apparatus , such as a fluorescence X-ray analyzer, being able to analyze samples automatically, by transferring the samples into an analysis chamber, sequentially, comprising: an interruption recover device for automatically turning on an electric power supply for the analyzing apparatus, when electricity is re-established after interruption thereof; and a data processing computer , being connected through the uninterruptible power source to an electric power source, wherein, the data processing computer includes function for temporality memorizing analysis information of the automatic analyzing apparatus when the interruption of electricity occurs, and function for supplying electricity to the analyzing apparatus through the interruption recover device and also for re-starting the analysis of the samples upon the basis of the memorized analysis information at the time when the interruption occurs, when the electricity is recovered, thereby being suitable for unmanned operation thereof.
