Some years ago, one of the fundamental electronic instruments was the laboratory curve tracer. A CRT display would sweep out terminal behavior (current versus voltage) from which you could derive ...

There was a time when it wasn't so rare to discover an unusual, scope-like object in an electronics lab. This was the curve tracer, able to display detailed characteristic curves of many components.

Curve tracers are electronic test devices that are similar to oscilloscopes in many ways. Fundamentally, these instruments operate by varying a parameter, then measuring a separate one to produce data ...
