 +===== Introduction =====
 +The Curve Tracer instrument inside of the WaveForms application allows you to work with the Transistor Tester Adapter and uses the relays of the platform to perform the specific measurements.  It can also be used with devices having two waveform generator channels and either two differential oscilloscope inputs (Analog Discovery 1, 2, or 3) or four single-ended inputs (Electronics Explorer, Analog Discovery Pro). Within the WaveForms software, it is known as //Tracer//.
