Abstract: A first data file (32a) is described with the file name (75) of a second data file. The first data file (32a) is further described with positional information (76) for specifying the position of specific data with that second data file. A processor circuit acquires the specific data from the second data file on the basis of the description in the first data file. On the basis of the data thus acquired, a predetermined instruction is fed to a quality analyzing device in a vehicular quality analyzing system. On the basis of that instruction, the quality analyzing device feeds a predetermined signal to an electronic device in the vehicle thereby to analyze the quality of the vehicle in response to the reaction of the electronic device. When a data structure is to be constructed, a plurality of independent files are utilized. The data can be simply changed in each file.
