How to test a 6H30 tube

Anyone want to stake a stab at how to set up a Hickok tester to test a 6H30 tube?
Thanks

IF you can set the Noval socket for a 6922 and the test conditions for a 5687, a fair indication will be provided.

I'll give it a shot. I really just need to compare a group I have to know if any are low or any are unusually strong.

If I follow your idea (I am using a 6DJ8 setup since I don't have a 6922 one) , the readings are way above the 5000 (with a max of 6000) that the micromhos will be set at. I have to change the setting to 15000, then I get readings right around 8000 or more. Any ideas?
