To measure forward current and voltage, insert the cathode of the diode in
the emitter terminal of the test socket and the anode of the diode in the
collector terminal, Apply voltage to the device with the VARIABLE
COLLECTOR SUPPLY control.

Current and voltage in the reverse direction are measured in the same manner
as in the forward direction except that the Collector Supply POLARITY is
set to –
. To measure small amounts of reverse current, set the Collector
Supply POLARITY to – LEAKAGE.
