PB.6. Simulation of the Output Characteristic Measurement

Procedure SimIC_VCE.vi simulates the output characteristic measurement and associated curve fitting. Data are supplied from an actual measurement from any sample IC_VCEsub.vi. The data include IC versus VCE and VBE versus VCE. Copy and paste the two data sets from the sample (saved Front Panel or log data) IC_VCEsub.vi. Set up all values in the Digital Controls. The information will be used to compute and display the output characteristic, measured and SPICE, and various parameters and dc variables in the Digital Indicators. Parameters βDC and IS are computed for VCE = VBE, according to the definitions. VAF is computed from a selected range of βDC from the active region. (Continued below.) ...
