From your comments, it seems that finding a voltmeter board to add to my 5328A
isn't worth the trouble. I have been looking for one even though I have plenty
of voltmeters. I assume the option allows measurement of the signal inputs but
still probably isn't worth all the agony of changing the panel, etc.
Am I making sense?

To throw in my $0.02 worth:
I have the DVM option on a couple of my counters, but never pay much
attention to it. I have DMMs and a couple of Simpson 260s. However,
the discussion made me curious so I checked on what they do. Two things
of interest:
- They only measure DC. (The ones I have).
- The one in the 5328A will also "Read A" or "Read B". This reads the
level of the trigger voltage (DC). The catalog says this is really
helpful for setup. I'll have to give it a try sometime.
- Others are just a separate input and don't measure anything on the AC
input signal.
On the topic of suffix letters: Sometimes the suffix letter indicates a
variation in the basic model. For example, the 3336 synthesizer/level
generator:
- 3336A - CCITT version
- 3336B - Bell system version
- 3336C - General purpose version.
