TC
The TC command performs the high speed spot measurement by using the 
MFCMU, and returns the measurement data. The command starts a measurement 
regardless of the trigger mode (TM command) and the measurement mode (MM 
command).
The MFCMU measures the primary parameter and the secondary parameter (for 
example, Cp and G). Use the IMP command to select the measurement parameters. 
See “IMP” on page 4-107. 
Execution 
Conditions 
The CN/CNX command has been executed for the specified channel.
The IMP command has been executed.
Syntax  TC chnum,mode[,range]
Parameters  chnum :  MFCMU measurement channel number. Integer expression. 1 to 10 or 
101 to 1001. See Table 4-1 on page 4-16.
mode :  Ranging mode. 0 (auto ranging. initial setting) or 2 (fixed range).
range :  Measurement range. Needs to set when mode=2. Integer (0 or more). 
50 Ω, 100 Ω, 300 Ω, 1 kΩ, 3 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 30 kΩ, 100 kΩ, and 300 kΩ 
are selectable. See Table 4-17 on page 4-30. Available measurement 
ranges depend on the output signal frequency set by the FC command.
Example 
Statements 
OUTPUT @B1500;"TC 8,2,1000"
ENTER @B1500 USING "#,3X,13D,X";Cdata
ENTER @B1500 USING "#,3X,13D,X";Gdata
TDCV
Forces DC voltage from the MFCMU or the SMU connected to the Force1/Sense1 
terminals of the SCUU (SMU CMU unify unit), and returns the time data from timer 
reset to the start of output. 
Execution 
Conditions 
The CN/CNX command has been executed for the specified channel (MFCMU).
If you want to apply DC voltage over ± 25 V, the SCUU must be connected 
correctly. The SCUU can be used with the MFCMU and two SMUs (MPSMU or 
HRSMU). The SCUU cannot be used if the HPSMU is connected to the SCUU or if 
the number of SMUs connected to the SCUU is only one.
