FYI: These tubes are measured in autobias mode according the manufacturer data sheet.
Measurement mode: Autobias as specified
by the manufacturer.
In autobias mode the tube is measured with a
constant anode current. This corresponds to the application in the
device.
Note: Most tubes offered on ebay are tested with a fixed
grid bias voltage. Such a measurement contains a general system
error. The desired result in the application is therefore purely
random.
