Transistor Checker Circuit 211123

[AllenPitts]

Hello EDA Board,

Working on learning more about transistors and their operation and how to troubleshoot and check transistors.
Went back into notes and found

Tried searching for this circuit at the Engineer's Garage web site which has a link to this forum:

EngineersGarage – Engineering Community

EngineersGarage-Latest electronics news, Electronics projects,Technical articles, technology trends, diy, engineering resources and more!

www.engineersgarage.com

But there does not seem to be a search function at the Engineer's Garage web site.
Does anybody know where this circuit is posted so I can learn more about it?

Thanks.

Allen in Dallas

Hello Allen,
If you're after an "In circuit Transistor Tester" in general, might I
suggest you try Silicon Chip magazine in Australia.
Their September 1993 issue has a project for that very thing.
If you live in Australia you can purchase the issue and have it delivered.
If not, you can buy the online copy and view it in your browser.
They give a full explanation of it's workings.
I hope the above helps you in your search.
