Commercial curve tracers have existed for decades. But designers without access to one can create a simple circuit that uses a function generator and oscilloscope to generate JFET transfer and ...

In response to an online discussion on the Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange, [Joseph Eoff] decided to prove his point by slapping together a bare-bones IV curve tracer using an Arduino Nano and a ...

In the beginning, there were curve tracers made by Tektronix. They displayed the characteristic curves of electron tubes and transistors. Then H-P expanded the concept to that of multiple ...

Some instruments merely make measurements, while others offer insights. My top three candidates for the latter role are the oscilloscope, the spectrum analyzer, and the curve tracer. While measuring ...
