To a lot of us, curve tracing seems to be one of those black magic things that only the true wizards understand. But as [DiodeGoneWild] explains, curve tracing really isn’t all that complicated, and ...

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 ...

We always enjoy videos from [w2aew]. His recent entry looks at vertical or VFETs, which are, as he puts it, a JFET that thinks it is a triode. He clearly explains how the transistor works as a ...

THE review of a book on practical curve tracing in NATURE of June 9 is tantalising to one who is not in the least interested in drawing the graph of an equation, but who is frequently plotting curves ...

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 ...

I HAVE unwittingly done an injustice to Mr. R. H. Duncan's book on “Practical Curve Tracing” (vol. lxxxiii., p. 461). I judged by the review of it in NATURE of June 9 that it deals only with the ...
