So what do you do when you need a modern transistor curve tracer?
slow_rider:
I'll start with this - The option of buying something used from the olden days is out of the question :)
Modern approach seems to buy source-meter (or a couple) and setup everything in software.
Is there a modern equivalent for a standalone curve tracer that could be used reliably with trusted calibration and easy export of data?
Thanks!
Grandchuck:
This one is only low power. It is very useful, otherwise, and stores data in a text file.
RoGeorge:
Buy a SMU.

So this is one approach... Keithley offers several but 2 channels max, so you need 2. Also, tracing of 3 terminal devices and is not built in. They want you to pay even more for a software that does that. A setup like could easily go for $8k+ and you have the complexity of running two SMUs for this 1 task.
No one makes new curves tracers professionally anymore?

I have been wanting to build one for some time. My first need is for a staircase generator. I would think some ARBs could do this. The second part is a triangle wave generator; these are common and cheap. Add a couple of resistors and a scope and you have what you want, just not self contained.
