A processing instrument with configurable processing conditions makes it possible to simplify operations, prevent operation errors, and reuse, without modification, installed software having a track record in operation. An operation terminal includes a research work processing section with software having a track recording in operation that provides a function which receives processing conditions from an input section, a function which executes processing according to processing conditions, and a function which displays results of the processing. A fixed processing condition database stores fixed processing conditions set to a predetermined values. A routine work processing section includes a function for receiving variable processing conditions that are a part of the processing conditions from the input section, a function for creating the processing conditions necessary for the operation terminal by combining the variable and fixed processing conditions, and a function for displaying the result of the processing from the research processing section.
