Abstract
An exclusion module (21) is configured to calculate a coating amount of each component whose measurement element is not contained in the base layers, for each of corresponding measurement lines, on an assumption that that component solely makes up the thin film and to adopt a maximum coating amount as an initial value of the coating amount of that component; and to calculate a coating amount of each component whose measurement element is contained in the base layers, for each of corresponding measurement lines, on the basis of initial values of coating amounts of individual components whose measurement elements are not contained in the base layers, if calculation results for all the corresponding measurement lines give errors, to exclude that component from analysis targets as an unquantifiable component, and in other cases, to adopt a maximum coating amount as an initial value of the coating amount of that component.
