Figure 4-2b: THE IMPLEMENTATION - STEP 2
At point 1, the second amplifier begins to work in addition to the first. Its gain is
adjusted so that point 2 lies on the ideal curve. The error is small until point 2 is
reached. Here, the large error is due to the curvature of the original analyzer
curve.
