"When zoomed in there is the option (per channel) to go to the next edge, which is a useful timesaver because you dont have to zoom out, scroll and zoom in.

However, recording on multiple channels I have the use-case that I want to go to the first edge on ‘any’ channel (so the first edge after wherever I am now)."

"This is something I could use a lot, for example where I am watching multiple related edges (multiple interrupt lines for example), but don’t know what order they may fire.

My work around is to mouse over the skip button for each channel of interest and note which shows the shortest interval."

"A typical use-case for me is investigating a system that usually replies to a command, but fails to do so in a certain case. In cases like this, I don’t exactly know what the next data is, it could be the next command or it could be the reply (or any of the other signals probed), since I am looking for anomalies, not ‘normal’ patterns.

One example would be an ‘3GPP TS 27.007’ compatible modem.
(Basically, the ‘ATrn’ ‘OKrn’ command/reply thing :slight_smile: )

-----

It would be connected as a serial port (so normal RX/TX lines), so in ‘normal’ cases it will be on a known channel.
However in a recent investigation the probes were placed on testpads near the device, and extra probes were placed on another place deeper in the system, because there were some unexpected glitches. In those cases it was not known if the first edge would be seen on the device side or on the other probes."

This feature could also be solved by virtual math channels as highlighted here:
