An automatic analysis device for analyzing a sample, comprising: a plurality of containers , each containing a sample; a single circular disk on which said plurality of containers are loaded; a display unit ; a graphical user interface; and a control unit , wherein the control unit prepares a plurality of registration patterns in which information of a position having one of said plurality of containers installed therein is correlated with information of the sample to be contained in said one of said plurality of containers , for the single circular disk , and stores a plurality of the prepared registration patterns, the control unit applies one registration pattern selected from a plurality of the stored registration patterns to the single circular disk , and analyzes said sample contained in said one of said plurality of containers , the control unit prepares the registration pattern, based on a type of method for analyzing the sample to be contained in said one of said plurality of containers , information of a position where said one of said plurality of containers is installed includes a block having a plurality of installation positions from a start position to an end position where said one of said plurality of containers is installed, and the control unit prepares the registration pattern so that the information of the sample to be contained in said one of said plurality of containers is not repeatedly associated with each block, characterized in that , when preparing the plurality of registration patterns, the control unit is adapted to automatically allocate a start number indicating the start position of the block and an end number indicating the end position of the block for each block based on the total number of samples for each of the different types of methods for analyzing the sample as input by an operator. a plurality of containers , each containing a sample; a single circular disk on which said plurality of containers are loaded; a display unit ; a graphical user interface; and a control unit , wherein the control unit prepares a plurality of registration patterns in which information of a position having one of said plurality of containers installed therein is correlated with information of the sample to be contained in said one of said plurality of containers , for the single circular disk , and stores a plurality of the prepared registration patterns, the control unit applies one registration pattern selected from a plurality of the stored registration patterns to the single circular disk , and analyzes said sample contained in said one of said plurality of containers , the control unit prepares the registration pattern, based on a type of method for analyzing the sample to be contained in said one of said plurality of containers , information of a position where said one of said plurality of containers is installed includes a block having a plurality of installation positions from a start position to an end position where said one of said plurality of containers is installed, and the control unit prepares the registration pattern so that the information of the sample to be contained in said one of said plurality of containers is not repeatedly associated with each block, characterized in that , when preparing the plurality of registration patterns, the control unit is adapted to automatically allocate a start number indicating the start position of the block and an end number indicating the end position of the block for each block based on the total number of samples for each of the different types of methods for analyzing the sample as input by an operator. <EOS>
