To enable measurement of a suspension position and a suspension period of the reference clock of a microcomputer to be inspected, based on the information stored into a clock information register section, by acquiring output data output from the microcomputer; preserving the acquired output data into a data bank section by use of the reference clock being output from the microcomputer together with the output data; discriminating the suspension of the reference clock by a clock operation discrimination section at sampling intervals of the output data; and writing and preserving the discrimination result into the clock information register section by a register control section.
