It is set up by using data from a tube manual so no "setup charts" are needed but they did publish one with some common tubes in it. Having only one meter for all functions is a little strange but it does the job and is a great unit to really analyze tubes. Enjoy it.
Thanks for the info Tim! But your information has revealed a possible problem. My tester is the first version, but I bought resistors using the parts list from the second version! Hopefully version 1 and 2 do not differ too much in part choices. Do you know if your tester was the first, second, or third version Tim?
