I will post more details tonight when i am home, its not the same as either of those.
This display is actually a 132x26 VFD , the Driver Chips are on the interface board directly, enough of the display is still intact to maybe allow removal to look for actual part number..
The Display Area is 165mm x 19mm , however, There is room to put an LCD up to 222mm x 70mm
The data signallying to the 8518 drivers chips are arranged in 4 Horizontal Drivers , and 4 Vertical Drivers daisy chained ( the 4 Horizontals are independent with separate Clock/Latch/Data )
SD1 -> DI to 8518"a" and DI to 8518"b" , But two different /latch
SD2 -> DI to 8518"c" and DI to 8518"c" , But two different /latch
All 4 Horizontals driven by same clock.
GDI -> DI to 8518"e" DO -> DI 8518 "f" DO -> DI 8518 "g" DO -> DI 8518 "h" , Driven by 1 clock and latch.
So, shouldn't be to trival to build something that takes those signals and then presents the output on an LCD Panel ( I have ordered some larger HDMI LCD displays that will fit into the panel area, and maybe look at modifying something like the RGB2HDMI or some other adapter ( like they did for the roland keyboard ) , i think the dot clock is < 3mhz
The Actual System is what is called a Fluke 9100 Trouble Shooter System
