I think this would be extremely useful as a programming aide...  I am
always using the HIGH/LOW LED commands to indicate what's going on in
the program, to give me some insight into whether a variable is going
out of range, etc.

I've written some programs (as have others) that are actually multiple
programs in series, and you press the STOP button to jump to the next
one.  The display could show which of the multiple programs was
currently running...    It could display connection info (GATE>IN2) for
a program... or the current values loaded into a sequence...

What about mounting it on a full-width one space rackpanel?  Or maybe on
a double frac panel (twice the width of the PSIM itself)?   Probably
have a fair amount of space leftover; maybe for some mults, attenuators,
????

This would be as valuable (actually more valuable) for programming the
PSIM than a voltage meter...

After playing with the VFD display on my PSIM I decided I did need a 
display on my synth.  Mounting it as a module is impractical since it 
takes width and you really need to be able to see it so I mounted it 
in a small portable enclosure.  I power it with +5 volts and can
drive it with MIDI or 38,400 serial (e.g. AUX output using serout
command).
 
Not sure how practical it is but I thought the programming would be 
fun.  Now I can display various messages and speech under voltage 
control!
