 To better investigate how the circuit operates we next need to break (open) the feedback loop and stop the circuit from oscillating. We can then inject a test signal at the base of the transistor as shown in figure 4. Add the modifications shown in figure 4 to your circuit. To better investigate how the circuit operates we next need to break (open) the feedback loop and stop the circuit from oscillating.

-The voltage waveform on the secondary side of the transformer might go outside the 0 to +5 V range of the ALM1000 input. To observe the voltage waveform we can AC couple the signal and use a [[https://wiki.analog.com/university/courses/electronics/text/chapter-7#diode_clamp|DC restoration circuit]], using a diode and adjustable DC voltage from a voltage divider, to set the DC level of the AC coupled waveform to an appropriate value for the ALM1000 input range.+The voltage waveform on the secondary side of the transformer might go outside the 0 to +5 V range of the ALM1000 input.
