Anti-Poisoning Options 

The  third  tile,  called  “Antipoisoning

 

Options”  allows  setting  of  the  tube  anti

-poisoning  feature.  This  feature 

periodically cycles all tube digits in order to reduce an effect called cathode poisoning inside the tube, which can 
cause  dark  spots  on  the  digits  over  time.  I

f  “Use  tube  anti

-poiso

ning” is  set  to  off,  i

t is  still  possible  to  enable 

hourly/random-time LED colour cycling. If the display is currently disabled due to the On-Off Timer setting, then no 
antipoisoning  or  LED  cycling  will  occur,  but  one  may  occur  when  the  display  wakes.  If  colour-cycling  LEDs  are 
enabled, the LED-After option will be ignored. The table below lists the different settings available:

LED Cycling 
During Antipoison 

Select whether the LEDs should cycle through the colours during the anitpoisoning 
routine. 

 

Dimming at Night 

For best results the tube brightness should be maximum during antipoisoning. This 
option selects the behaviour during night time 

 antipoisoning disabled, normal 

(full) brightness, or dimmed to the night-time tube brightness.

Options are Runs every hour (on the hour), Runs on a random minute each hour, 
Runs every 10 minutes (on the minute), Runs on a random minute every 10 
minutes, or Run immediately until stopped. 

 

LED After 
Antipoisoning 

Select whether the LEDs should change colour after the antipoisoning finishes. 
Options: No Change, Change to Next Preset, and Change to a Random Colour.  
If the LED cycler is enabled or the LEDs are off, then this setting has no effect.
