METHOD FOR ESTIMATING DISTRIBUTION PARAMETERS OF DELAY TIME OF DISCHARGE INCEPTION AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC H01J9/42 G01R31/24 

FIELD: measuring equipment.

SUBSTANCE: method for estimating distribution parameters of delay time of gas-discharge indicator discharge inception consists in cyclic formation of stimulating signals at the electrodes of a gas-discharge indicator N times during time T in each cycle and measurement of delay time of discharge inception t_i. In order to increase the reliability of the studies, after the formation of stimulating signals is completed, the number of non-ignitions of the examined display element - n is recorded in each cycle. Value of the average delay time of discharge inception is calculated by the formula . Device for estimating distribution parameters of delay time of discharge inception comprises a stimulating signal unit, a bar switching units "Y" and "X", a gas-discharge indicator, which is optically connected with an analyser of a display element state, a RS-trigger. In order to increase the reliability of the studies, a synchronization unit, a time interval meter, a processing and result returning unit, which implements the formula , are introduced into the device.

EFFECT: increased reliability of determining the statistical distribution parameters at different numbers of ignitions of the studied display element.
