Add meters in circuit
I would like the ability to add meters as a component in the circuit. There are times I need to know say, voltage between two points, not at a point. For example, when learning about voltage dividers, I was asked to find 4 volts when using a 6V battery and just 1 kohm resistors. The only way to do this now is to use a resultant series resistance (2 kohm). There are other examples.

When I developed test jigs, I mount volt, amp and freq. meters as components for testing units under test, like Zener tester, metal detector, RF strength measurement device. I don't own an oscilloscope nor, I can afford one on SSI income. I'm an old timer and I like analog to interface to today's digital stuff. I'm thinking of alternative to avoid o-scope use. Please, you got to include Meters as components! Thank you!

Adding a resistance variable might be a nice additional in-circuit meter feature (to simulate the impact of a real instrument in a circuit. E.g., a common real world 1 Amp meter instrument might have an effective series resistance of 60 milliohm, or a burden voltage of 0.06 Volt per Amp.)

A-meter, V-meter and W-meter...

Right now you can measure the voltage between two points using scope expressions. Just name the two wires for the two points (e.g. A and B) then add the expression: A.V - B.V to the scope.
This isn't very easy I understand so I'll look into creating in-circuit meters as you suggest.
