Just a short video showing how a function generator and an oscilloscope can be used as a very simple, low-voltage / low-power curve tracer to visualize the voltage - current relationship of a device under test (DUT). An alternative technique would be to use an "Octopus" component tester. I did a video on the octopus tester which you can find here:
