SENSING INSTRUMENT

摘要

A sensing instrument includes: a reference sensor including a reference piezoelectric resonator not adsorbing a substance to be sensed; a reference oscillator circuit oscillating the reference piezoelectric resonator; a measuring unit receiving an oscillation output of a sensing oscillator circuit and an oscillation output of the reference oscillator circuit in a time-series manner to measure frequencies of the oscillation outputs of the oscillator circuits; and a data creator creating time-series data of a difference between a frequency in a sensing sensor and a frequency in the reference sensor, based on the frequencies of the oscillation outputs of the oscillator circuits obtained by the measuring unit. Therefore, a frequency changed due to a factor other than the adsorption of the substance to be sensed is cancelled.
