PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To select wavelength resolution capable of detecting a real spectral peak of a sample based on measurer's experience and knowledge when a sample whose spectral shape is unknown is to be measured.SOLUTION: Wavelength resolution setting operation can be automatically set in accordance with a measurement spectrum. Therefore, a plurality of slits with respectively different aperture widths are prepared and a wavelength of monochromatic light passing an individual slit is scanned within a predetermined wavelength range to measure a spectrum in each aperture width of the slit. Based on compared results of a plurality of spectra measured about the slits with respectively different aperture widths, a slit condition for regulating relation between the aperture width of at least one slit to be used for measurement of the sample and at least one wavelength range applying the aperture width of the slit is determined.
