The consensus seems to be to use an expanded scale analog voltmeter.
If the OP is going to build such a thing, he needs a new scale on his
analog meter. That can be done with the free version of the software.
(I just checked and it will do an expanded scale).

I usually ignore one line pontifications, but I'm curious. Why does a
new meter scale fail to solve the issue? Ummm... what issue?
