I'm in the dark concerning this topic. I have a large number of sockets from NixieTester dot com to assemble and some have multiple resistors in the kit. Socket #3 comes with four different values. I realize now that the "correct" resistor isn't just a matter of 170V over the current. The correct value appears to be much lower than that.
What's going on here? Is the missing factor the resistance of the plasma itself? If so what is the formula? I can't find the data sheets for some of my tubes and I'm a bit clueless as to how to proceed. I have the Pro Nixie Tester which I can use to do real world tests but I need to exactly what I'm doing first. Pile on.
