I see there was a VU meter at one time, but don't see any current solutions.

I'm really more curious than anything.  I think it would be
interesting to see what my CV and triggers are doing at various
points.

Perhaps a multimeter with some 1/8" patch cables attached is the solution.

Do you currently look at the volts of your system?

I have the VU meter and it's pretty helpful at some stages, but I 
feel that a scope would probably be even more useful - the tricky 
choice is how much panel space to sacrifice to something that is 
never really  going to be a useful live module and should be a 
standard piece of lab equipment anyway.

I use a generic voltmeter from Radioshack.  One can just touch the
leads to the tips of a patch cable, or fairly easily rig up something
with a 3.5mm jack for hands-free operation.  For something permanent,
you could drill a blank panel for a single jack and two small
cylindrical contacts to stick the leads of the voltmeter in, wire them
together, and label hot/ground.  The digital voltmeters are pretty
accurate and some can measure frequency in Hz as well.
