Anyone have an accurate I-V curve for an NE-2 neon indicator lamp?

(I think it's time I applied TANH to it ;-)

Thanks, John, that looks like a good starting point. Thinking TANH
:-}, I think I can write a generalized equation where all you need to

do is specify the peak and valley currents and voltages and one (or
maybe 2) I,V points out on the "tail", though my gut feel is that the
tail slope should intercept 0,0 until you start to smoke it.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
