Display
The Display tab sets how the digits look and change, and how the clock cares for its tubes.
Nixie tubes
| Setting | Options (default in bold) | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Cathode poisoning prevention | Every minute for 1 s, Every 10 min for 10 s, Every 30 min for 30 s, Daily at 3:00 for 50 min | How often the clock runs its cleaning cycle and for how long. |
| Digit transition | Instant, Fading, Flipping, Cross-fade | How one digit changes into the next: at once, fading out and in, running through the digits like a slot machine, or blending. |
| Colon | Off, Always on, Blinking, Fading | How the separator tubes between the hours, minutes and seconds behave: dark, lit, blinking (2 seconds lit, 2 seconds dark), or blinking with a soft fade. |
| Leading zero (09:15) | On / Off | Off leaves the first hour tube dark before 10 o'clock, for example 9:55 instead of 09:55. |
During the cleaning cycle a wave runs across the tubes and lights every digit in turn. Digits that stay dark for a long time slowly lose their glow (cathode poisoning); the cleaning cycle prevents that. See also Healing.
