What do you guys think?

I think this idea has you enthused!
I'll look at your schematic soon. Al was surely thinking of
a full analog curve tracer "like Heathkit made". A USB powered one would not
be as much
device-smokin' fun...
A powered curve tracer with an ethernet port to automate it would be a good
lead in
to real world tests of power handling parts -- where they can build up heat for
so long during a pulsed situation,
then you have to stop and wait for cooling....
The knob cranking curve tracer with newbie operator often
kills parts before they ever get to those zones of operation....unless you use a short pulse duration, with more complexity of
design and operation.
Even for a starter curve tracer, I'd want it to deal with power circuits, so
150V, 300V in Europe.
