The 176 is a fixture from Tektronix. A fixture is a kind of electronic test equipment that continuously runs tests on a piece of equipment. Fixtures test electronic components, circuits, chips, and software. Engineers use fixtures to hold the equipment under test (EUT) in place and run tests using controlled electronic signals.
Additional Features:
The Tektronix 176 is a pulsed high-current test fixture for the model 576 curve tracer. The 176 supplies the collector current by passing stored charge through an SCR. This pulsed technique allows the 176 to measure points far from the origin of the I-V curve while keeping the instrument compact and light and the minimizing thermal effects in the device under test.
