I picked this up yesterday and got it working last
night. Does anyone
have a manual for it? It's a small Oscilliscope-like device that's used
for testing transistors and the like. Oh yeah, I'm going to use it to fix
my vintage equipment.
Very useful tool to trace the p/n junction curves. Very useful to
isolate, open, shorted and more especially those diffcult to find
lazy transistors and diodes, matching two or more transistors etc.
Usually called curve tracer.
But you can do same with your scope using home made ocputus box
which I don't know the schematic for, my coworker has that little box
but he doesn't know where this schematic of this because he made that
curve tracer box decades ago.
Cheers,
