[!TLDR]

The test circuit has an n-channel JFET with a variable VGGV_{GG} setting the gate-source voltage and a variable VDDV_{DD} setting the drain-source voltage, so that IDI_D can be measured against either.

To obtain the drain and transfer characteristics of an n-channel JFET, the JFET is connected with two separate variable DC supplies. The gate is connected through a gate resistor RGR_G to a variable supply VGGV_{GG}, which fixes the gate-to-source voltage VGSV_{GS}; the gate is kept reverse biased. The drain is connected through a drain resistor RDR_D to a second variable supply VDDV_{DD}, which fixes the drain-to-source voltage VDSV_{DS}. The drain current IDI_D flowing in the drain circuit is measured, and the source together with the negative ends of both supplies is tied to a common ground. By holding one voltage constant an …
