A method of managing data obtained by measurements. The method permits EDS (energy dispersive spectroscopy) spectra to be collected in one operation. Energies detected by an EDS detector are converted by a pulse height analyzer into pulses of heights corresponding to the energies. The heights of the pulses in a distribution are assigned to multiple channels. The number of pulses in each channel is counted. A data processing circuit sends data blocks to a CPU. In each data block, a tag indicative of being X-ray energy data and the value of energy are combined. The CPU sequentially stores incoming data blocks into a hard disk.
