Track Meter is a plugin to display the current level of a stereo input signal separately for the left, right, mid and side channels and also to display the cross-correlation between the two channels.

Signal Analyzer is a combined oscilloscope / spectrum-analyzer plugin for inspecting signals in real-time in the time- and frequency domain.

Commercial plug-ins, including Mac OS X versions (VST/AU), are expected to be released later this year.
