Press Set to enter the tilt angle setting mode. The watch will display
45, which is a hint of the angle (in degrees) to hold the watch at when
setting the tilt angle. Hold the watch at a comfortable viewing angle
with the tubes facing up and toward your face, and press the Adv
button. The display will blink once as the tilt sensor is read and its
angle stored for reference.
Press Set again to exit time setting mode. The display will be blank.
Hold the watch steady at the tilt angle you set it to, and the display
should flash the hours and minutes. If you have difficulty getting it
to display the time, try setting the tilt angle again at a slightly
different angle.
Using the watch
The nixie watch is simple to use. Once it is set, it will activate the
display when tilted to the desired viewing angle. The hours are
displayed first, then the minutes, then finally an incrementing
seconds display if held at the viewing angle.
It may take some practice to get the watch to display the time every
time you tilt it to viewing angle. In the current version of the
software, the tilt angle sensitivity is variable depending on exactly
what angle the watch is set to. So if it’s not sensitive enough, try
setting the tilt angle again. That will usually clear up the problem.
After a while, your arm will seek the correct angle automatically.
The seconds display is designed to indicate the passing seconds while
minimizing the power used. The seconds will only show up as long
as the watch is held at the proper viewing angle. Also, the duty cycle
of the display diminishes to zero over a period of twenty seconds.
You will notice that the time that each number is displayed grows
shorter, until the display is flashing each passing second very briefly.
In spite of this, it is easy to read the displayed number since you
know what it will be.
