Testing tubes not in the chart

You can set the bias and read the value. 


This allows you to do step-grid-voltage gM tests for tubes not in the tube roll
chart by getting the tube data sheet, setting the grid bias to proper value
and varying the grid voltage while monitoring plate current to produce mA/Volt
readings (gM). Multiply the result by 1000 to get uMOHS.

You can read plate voltage, screen voltage filament voltage and grid bias, grid AC
drive and filament voltage. This is really important because voltages in tube
testers change when you press the "Test" button for high power tubes.
