comments:
"It's actually a little RISC-based computer that measures the tube's plate voltage and Idle cathode current
real-time and calculates the output tube dissipation wattage. I was skeptical but it met most of my criteria.....
I've been having troubles with my Vibrolux, so I slapped on the probes (I got the Octal and Noval probe set) and was
surprised but relieved to see some odd readings: plate voltage was around 415-417 for both but idle current were 15 and 31,
wattage was 6.2 and 12.9...Clearly 1 tube was not performing within bounds and the bias currents were wacked....
The Compu-Bias gave me quick readings and I didn't have to measure anything inside the chassis...
It may be a little pricier compared to some of the other units but the convenience and software upgradability make it a workable tool for me....
