The "exclusive" feature of the Blue Ring design is the logarithmic LED driver. The circuit typically uses an LM339 or a similar quad comparator. Each comparator is set to a different reference voltage. As the ringing voltage decays, the comparators turn off one by one. High amplitude ringing triggers all LEDs (Green). Fast decay only triggers the first one or two LEDs (Red). 3. Protection Diodes

This avoids calibration and gives numeric results (e.g., “Rings = 12”).
