Over on his YouTube channel our hacker [Jerry Walker] repairs a Tektronix 577 curve tracer. A curve tracer is a piece of equipment which plots I-V (current vs voltage) curves, among other things.

[Jason] managed to build a pretty capable little curve tracer in the end. We really enjoyed it when he used the tracer to debug the tracer.

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 ...

A high-speed, high-accuracy real-time V/I curve tracer that is ideally suited to carrying out DC parametric testing on semiconductor and optoelectronic devices has been introduced by Yokogawa Europe.

The CTR-101 Curve Tracer from Saelig Company, Inc. plots device characteristics for diodes, transistors, MOSFETs, JFETs, and other LF and RF semiconductors, or demonstrate the linearity of ...

By adding the PVA-1500 Series I-V curve tracer to its portfolio, Fluke now offers tools for solar professionals servicing everything from distributed-generation arrays to utility-scale projects.
