OK, so there is definitely some goodness for the IN-1 when it's multiplexed.
With direct-drive, the tube has a constant internal electric field so there will always be favorable conditions for a metallic filament to form. What I dont understand is why a tube that is 4:1 multiplexed doesn't have any filament growths after a longer time (roughly 4X) versus direct-drive. There is obviously something else in-play. Maybe scope traces of the multiplexed tube will reveal a possible cause. My guess is there is some kind of activation-level required to cause filaments; it will be a function of temperature and electric-field strength. But there must be something else, such as a minimum on-time. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
