PURPOSE: To improve operation efficiency and to reduce the price of leasing charge by incorporating the detectors for detecting using and operating states and a communication equipment in a measurement instrument to be leased and making a central arithmetic processor supervise and control the using and operating states through a communication channel. CONSTITUTION: In this system for leasing the measurement instrument 3 and managing it, a using state detector 6, an operating state detector 5 and the communication equipment 4 are incorporated in the measurement instrument 3 and the central arithmetic processor 1 supervises and controls the using state and the operating state of the measurement instrument 3 through the communication channel 2. Then, when input for utilizing the measurement instrument 3 is performed by an input device 8, a measurement instrument measurement part 7 performs initial setting, the operating state detector 5 detects it and the communication equipment 4 reports the information through the communication channel 2 to the central arithmetic processor 1. The central arithmetic processor 1 controls the measurement instrument 3 to be a usable state and stores the time and data or the like. Then, when the end of use is reported from the side of the measurement instrument 3, the central arithmetic processor 1 makes the use of the measurement instrument 3 impossible and calculates the leasing charge. |
