Very useful tool to trace the p/n junction curves.  Very useful to 
isolate, open, shorted and more especially those diffcult to find 
lazy transistors and diodes, matching two or more transistors etc.

Usually called curve tracer.

But you can do same with your scope using home made ocputus box 
which I don't know the schematic for, my coworker has that little box 
but he doesn't know where this schematic of this because he made that 
curve tracer box decades ago.
