This configuration is used to display the characteristic curve of a diode in the virtual oscilloscope of the MultiSIM. Observing the curve we can say if the diode under test is or isn’t good. The circuit uses as signal source the power line voltage. Figure 1 shows the circuit.
Figure 1 – The test circuit
Figure 2 shows the image resulted from a good diode when displayed in the virtual oscilloscope of the Multisim.
