I created the circuit for a project of mine on Orcad Capture (Pspice). I ran a DC sweep on it and got the desired output. Now I have built the identical circuit on a breadboard but I am not getting the same output on the oscilloscope that I am on the DC sweep graph on my simulation. Is there a certain way to do a DC sweep on an oscilloscope?

Best way is to simply plot the response. Put in zero volts and measure output, put in 1V, measure, 2V, measure, etc. Otherwise, you would have to put your o-scope in X-Y mode and use the stimulas as the X axis, and the output as the Y.

I think doing the x-y mode is probably what I need to do... According to the figures I provided, where would I place the probes?
