NUB?
Execution 
Conditions 
If the output voltage is greater than the allowable voltage for the interlock open 
condition, the interlock circuit must be shorted.
Syntax  MV chnum,vrange,base,bias[,Icomp]
Parameters  chnum :  SMU source channel number. Integer expression. 1 to 10 or 101 to 
1001. See Table 4-1 on page 4-16.
vrange :  Ranging type. Integer expression. The output range will be set to the 
minimum range that covers both base and bias values. For the limited 
auto ranging, the instrument never uses the range less than the specified 
range. See Table 4-4 on page 4-21.
base, bias : Base voltage and bias voltage (in V). Numeric expression. See Table 
4-7 on page 4-24, Table 4-9 on page 4-26, Table 4-12 on page 4-27, or 
Table 4-15 on page 4-28 for each measurement resource type. For using 
3000 V range of HVSMU, base and bias must have the same polarity.
Icomp :  Current compliance value (in A). Numeric expression. See Table 4-7 on 
page 4-24, Table 4-9 on page 4-26, Table 4-12 on page 4-27, or Table 
4-15 on page 4-28 for each measurement resource type. If you do not 
set Icomp, the previous value is used. 0 A is not allowed for Icomp.
Example 
Statements 
OUTPUT @B1500;"MV 1,12,0,5,1E-3"

NUB? 
The NUB? query command checks the number of measurement data in the output 
data buffer, and stores the results in the output data buffer (query buffer).
Syntax  NUB?
Query Response  number_of_measurement_data<CR/LF^EOI>
Example 
Statements 
OUTPUT @B1500;"NUB?"  
ENTER @B1500;A
ODSW
This command specifies the operation of the pulse switch for the specified SPGU 
channel. Set for each channel. See “SPGU Module” on page 2-53 for details on the 
operation of the pulse switch.
