Hickok 6000 Basic Tube Testing

Tubes Asylum

Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

Hi, I recently bought a Hickok 6000 tube tester though I have the operating instructions manual I have few basic questions while testing the tube.
Once I select a tube to test and I am setting the controls based on the roll chart such as, Filament, Selectors, Bias, Shunt, and Func.
(1) Quality Test - After these settings when I press "TEST" button should I only consider this as 'Quality Test' and look into only the Replace - Good option ignoring the micromhos.
(2) Mu. Conductance Test/Number - Since I already set the 'Shunt' value during the quality test, what I should I different to read the mu. conductance number. Or, should I set shunt at zero while testing quality?

If I am doing these tests completely wrong, please let me know how to do these two tests.

I would greatly appreciate all of your help.

Thank you,
Sri
