In this case it was actually when my mind wondered away during the sermon of the Christmas The reason why I never actually undertook building a tube curve-tracer is the same reason why I dislike most tube circuits: they are always bulky, heavy, and tend to dissipate a lot of energy! Sometimes the most beautiful ideas come at the strangest moments. In short, in my view a curve traces is one of the most useful pieces of equipment around. To measure and evaluate very quickly not only transistor and diode characteristics, but also contacts of metals to semiconductors, stability of junctions etc. Sometimes wonder if also my “craftsmanship” will suffer the same fate? Anyhow, a curve-tracer is about the single most important measurement tool I use in my work both in- and outside the cleanroom. Radio tube technology has these days almost become an extinct language like classical Latin or Greek, and I The best term I can find to describe my profession is that of “Semiconductor Technologist.” My interest and fascination for semiconductor technology explain my interest in tube fabrication technology.
#DIPTRACE WINDOWS 8.1 ISSUES PROFESSIONAL#
My whole professional life has been devoted to the research, development and fabrication of semiconductor devices. I do however have quite an extensive tube collection, and from time to time I am playing with the idea of making a tube tester, or even better a tester which can measure a set of Ia-Va of Ia-Vg characteristics, in other words a tube curve-tracer. I simply do not have the ears for it! I am however fascinated by the technology of these fragile and romantic devices and I love to read and write about their history. In contrast to most of these tube-lovers I have, at least up to now, little interest in tube amplifiers. Readers of my pages will not be surprised to learn that, like so many other people, I am fascinated by vacuum tubes. Testing the Feasibility of the New Concept.FireWorks!

In this way the circuit can be kept very small while the use of “heavy” high power / dissipation components can be avoided.
