I don't like the idea of a custom display. Just look at all the test equipment repair threads where a failed, unobtainium display is problem. Particularly painful is all the devices that used VFD displays with a known finite lifetime and wearout mechanism. I have a front panel replacement design on the back burner for my HP-531xx counter for when the VFD eventually fails. The only way to replace the VFD now is to send HP $1800 for a new front panel board. |

Overcurrent indication... |

If you have any spare segment lines, adding the additional decimal points (especially on the watts) wouldn't hurt, for future expansion or use on other things, like a dummy load perhaps, or for indicating mains voltages ( e.g. a volatge/power logger). maybe add a Hz icon? |

This would be custom and only available via Dave, it is not the same. |

Going off some other's ideas...here's what I came up with. It's a different aspect ratio, but perhaps that's okay (since it's custom)? I don't see a benefit to using italics. I think it's just harder to read for no reason. I think it would be nice to have the 'Set' and 'Measured' voltages/currents clearly defined. It's a power supply; The learning curve should be <10 seconds, in my opinion. Also, if you use an RGB LED backlight, the screen could be, say, yellow in the 'output-off' state, green in 'CV' and red in 'CC'. Let me know what you guys think! |
