You asked how. The above is the visual indication. How to do it:
Attached sparks at maximum stretch for attachment (for the ionization 
level present) gives this condition. This corresponds to maximum V x 
I product in the secondary output summed over ring time for a shot
using the above indicators. Output to air streamers appears to be 
capacitively loading while attachment is mostly resistive (at Fr).
