[neonixie-l] IN-17 Questions

Hello Sorry if this is a silly question, but I can't seem to find anything online about it... The IN-17 datasheet says that before soldering it's suggested to "train" the nixie with a common current source to each cathode. What is this supposed to accomplish?

You must be "loading" neon tube before use. You need loading tube by current 1.5-2 ma for 2 minutes, because some microgram mercury need to be vaporize from cathodes. 2018-04-14 22:00 GMT+03:00 Michael Bell : > Hello > > Sorry if this is a silly question, but I can't
