Abstract

Reference data which is measurement values obtained by measuring reference workpieces satisfying an inspection standard is acquired. Averaged data is calculated by performing statistical processing on the reference data. It is determined whether an inspection workpiece satisfies the inspection standard by comparing a determination value set in accordance with the inspection standard with a deviation degree between the averaged data and measurement data which is measurement values obtained by measuring the inspection workpiece.
