Cathode Segment Current
Note: At the specified current, a segment shall glow
uniformly over its entire surface with no glow visible on any
other part of the panel.
† Recommended D.C. keep alive circuit: Use a 1 Megohm
resistor in series with cathode and a 1 Megohm resistor in
series with anode connected to a 200 VDC source.
