BREAK TEST

If you have not seen one of these, a small LCD panel in the handle indicates
the voltage is greater than the displayed graphics. This occurs when any of the
LCD sections sees greater than about 1V. As the LCD current required for this
is only the odd pA very high value resistors can be used to make up the
calibration multiplier chain. This means the return circuit can safely be made
though ones finger to earth.

A neon is also fitted for a BREAK TEST. (what ever that is)
N.B. in this circuit this is NOT such a safe option as current COULD flow
though the LCD to you! 
  

G8MNY's MODIFIED VERSION
1/ Change one of the 22M to 10M to increase the sensitivity on DC.
2/ Then add a 270pF cap to reduce the sensitivity on AC.
3/ Add a 220K into the break test ciruit.
