It would be useful to expand the article by showing some typical V-I curves for BJTs and FETs. DFH 18:38, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Are Sony/Tek still manufacturing any curve tracers? DFH 19:09, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
As far as I can tell, most if not all of this article is not specific to semiconductors, but applies to other DUT types as well (vacuum tubes, for example; but even passive elements like resistors can in principle be tested with a curve tracer). Would it make sense to remove the "semiconductor" part from the title and apply some (minor) edits to the text to make this article more general (not specific to semiconductors only)?

The first sentence "A semiconductor curve tracer (also known as a semiconductor parameter analyzer) is a..." seems inaccurate. A curve tracer is used to determine the V-I *curves* of the DUT, while parameter analyzer is used to determine the *parameter values* of the DUT (for example gain, transconductance, etc.).
