 +On the inverting amplifier a potentiometer is used to control manually the output voltage, replacing the standard feedback resistor.
 +
 +==== Hardware Setup ====
 +
 +Build the following breadboard circuit for the voltage-controlled amplifier using transistors.

 +
 +==== Procedure ====
 +
 +Use the first waveform generator as source Vin to provide a 2V amplitude, 1 kHz sine wave excitation to the circuit.  Supply the op amp to +/- 5V from the power supply. Configure the scope so that the input signal is displayed on channel 1 and the output signal is displayed on channel 2.
