Here I showed a couple of methods to implement a curve tracer using Function generator/AWG.
00:00 Introduction
01:12 Standalone Curve Tracing Circuitry
01:45 Method One
03:06 Method Two
05:26 Measurement Setup with Method One
07:43 NPN transistor Curve Tracing/Parameters Adjustment
13:25 N-Channel MOSFET Characteristics Curve
14:28 NPN transistor Characteristics Curve using Method Two/Conclusion
If you wanted to build a stand-alone curve tracer, you can check out the article I wrote a while back:

Here are a couple of review videos of the Function Generator/AWG used in this video:
