| The 0.4 V steps in the voltage driving the 10 KΩ base resistor will produce approximately 0.4 V/10 KΩ or 40 uA steps in the base current. Using the scope in XY mode plot channel CA-V on the horizontal axis (V<sub>CE</sub>) and channel CA-I (I<sub>C</sub>) on the vertical axis. You should see a set of 10 curves of I<sub>C</sub> vs. V<sub>CE</sub>, one for each of the 10 different base current levels. These base current levels should be approximately 0, 40uA, 80uA, 120uA ... 360uA. It may be necessary to slightly adjust the 0.6V offset level of the first step of channel B up or down slightly to insure it is right at the initial turn on value ( I<sub>B</sub>=0 and I<sub>C</sub>=0) of the transistor you are testing. | The 0.4 V steps in the voltage driving the 10 KΩ base resistor will produce approximately 0.4 V/10 KΩ or 40 uA steps in the base current.
