Claim Text:
1. A measuring apparatus comprising: a measurement situation information storage unit in which a plurality of sets of measurement situation information for identifying a measurement situation in which a predetermined measurement is performed on a measurement target are stored in association with time periods; a measurement processing unit that executes measurement on the measurement target; a display unit that, at a measurement operation timing at which an operation for performing measurement on the measurement target is executed, selects a set of measurement situation information corresponding to the measurement operation timing from among the plurality of sets of measurement situation information stored in the measurement situation information storage unit based on the time of the measurement operation timing or based on processing results obtained as a result of execution of measurement by the measurement processing unit, and causes a display to display the selected measurement situation information in a manner distinguishable from other measurement situation information; an operation unit; a deciding unit that decides measurement situation information that is displayed on the display as the measurement situation information finally corresponding to the measurement operation timing, based on an input by an operation of the operation unit; a storage unit that stores therein the measurement situation information finally corresponding to the measurement operation timing, which is decided by the deciding unit; a measurement information storage unit that stores therein information regarding the time of the measurement operation timing and the measurement situation information decided by the deciding unit each time measurement is executed on the measurement target; and a frequency determining unit that determines frequencies of time periods to which the times of the measurement operation timing belong for each type of measurement situation information based on the information stored in the measurement information storage unit, wherein the display unit is capable of changing a selection of measurement situation information based on, in addition to the time of the measurement operation timing, the resulting frequencies determined by the frequency determining unit.
