The "Numeric" DPS Channels communtiy now offers their own .Net based STO Combat Meter (SCM).
No Java is required for this (even Java-less CLR wanted Java if it's update mate was installed), which is nice. The Installer is not signed, which is not so nice.
CLR offered several variants of computing DPS - you decided what should be taken as time in combat (doing damage/doing or getting damge, first hit to last hit, etc). That may have been useful for ship tinkering. It was certainly for talling big numbers
SCM just offers one way to compute your total DPS: to get the value to decide on channel-fitness. With DPS as a flat measure Crowd Controllers, Tanks and Healers will still feel undervalued.
Its Player Combat Analysis gives good details, e.g. on some of your abilities, though I am missing some. It counts an Intel's shield hardening but misses Reverse Shield Polarity. I can not remember to have seen that in CLR, anyway. While I knew that Piper's Pilot spec grants a free kind of RCS console, I had not expected that his secondary Intel spec granted a free automatic kind of EPtS
One thing to get used in the DPS Channels: Every STF has it's acronym. Most I decoded (e.g. ISA = Infected, Space, Advanced. CSA = Cure, Space, Advanced.) but what might be EVIL?? I did not find anything on their web site so far.
