Display Elements
Section titled “Display Elements”The NIX6 uses the following components:
- Six Nixie Tubes: These are the primary digits (0-9), used for all numerical values.
- Two Colon Separators (Neon Bulbs): Two small neon bulbs are placed between the hours/minutes and minutes/seconds digits.
- RGB under-tube LED lighting: Can be used to show a different colour based on the current 'mode' (Time, Date or Temperature)
Display Modes
Section titled “Display Modes”The NIX6 shows time in an Hours:Miutes:Seconds format. It can be configured to use 12 or 24-hour format with or without a leading zero for hours less than 10. In time mode, the colon separators can be set as solid on, solid off, fast flashing (0.5Hz) or slow flashing (1Hz).
The NIX6 can show the date in a Day.Month.Year (default) or Month.Day.Year format. In date mode, both of the lower colon separators are lit to distinguish between the day, month and year.
Temperature
Section titled “Temperature”The NIX6 shows temperature in a XX.X format in either °C (default) or °F, with a range of 0.0°C to 65.5°C. In temperature mode, the display is left-aligned and only the lower left colon separator is used as a decimal point.
