I think you're looking for one or the other of these two:

Look at the half way down this document:

Note the technique of  paralleling a resistor with a section of a pot 
causes the overall resistance across the pot to change.  This may or may 
not matter in your application.  For just generating CV's you're most 
likely ok.
