 +The waveform generator should be configured for a 1 KHz triangle wave with 3 volt amplitude peak-to-peak and 1.5V offset. The input of scope channel 2 (2+) is used to measure the stabilized output current at the collector of Q2.
  
 ===== Procedure: ===== ===== Procedure: =====
  
 The zero gain amplifier can be used to create a stabilized current source. Because the voltage seen at the collector of transistor Q<sub>1</sub> is now more constant with changes in the input supply voltage as represented by AWG1, it can be used as the base voltage of Q<sub>2</sub> to produce a much more constant current in transistor Q<sub>2</sub>. The zero gain amplifier can be used to create a stabilized current source.
