Display
The Display tab sets how the digits change and how the clock cares for its tubes.
Nixie settings
| Setting | Options (default in bold) | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning interval | 1min/1sec, 10min/10sec, 30min/30sec, At 3AM/50min | How often the clock runs its cleaning cycle and for how long: for example every 10 minutes for 10 seconds, or every day at 3:00 for 50 minutes. |
| Digits transition | Normal, Fading, Flipping, CrossFading | How one digit changes into the next: at once, fading out and in, running through the digits like a slot machine, or blending. |
| Separator tube mode | Off, Always On, Blinking, Fading | How the separator tubes between the hours, minutes and seconds behave: dark, lit, blinking every second, or blinking with a soft fade. |
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.
