Any advanced user with some active Math channels.

If you find yourself with some spare time, why don't you embark on reading the second sentence of eTobey's post? I am sure you will make it through...

The particular situation shwon in eTobey's screenshot seems awkward, but is probably due to the large fonts he has enabled. The only reason for the arrows to be shown is that the arrows take up room, so the CH1 box cannot be fully shown. In this case, there should be no arrows and all four channels boxes fully visible.

With the regular, smaller fonts, omitting the arrows would not make enough room available to show an additional full info box, I believe. So in general, I am fune with keeping the arrows.

I think Rob's point was that the buttons are used, plain and simple. Different people have different workflows. Some people will hate scrolling, some people will hate the buttons.

However, I agree with you that the buttons shouldn't be there when there's only the 4 channels. The buttons should only appear when needed.

Consider different usage inputs.
The + tab must remain full sized for touch input therefore with a small display as 800X HD has needs the <> tab for access to the compressed tabs.

None of this is an issue with mouse control but touch control cannot be impeded when multiple tabs/channels are active.
Making the tabs smaller risks making touch usage problematic.

A few more words would have been useful, and would have sounded much nicer...

From 8+ tabs there is a point that would make those buttons actually better than scrolling IMHO. But then i would say drop that timestamp (make it floating or whatever) and make those buttons slightly bigger, and have the fifth element beeing covered less.

How about making the tabs a tiny bit smaller too? There is some room in the middle.

Not possible without sacrificing space needed for indication of channel settings.
BW limit, Hidden (but active) etc.

From the guy who always tells me he prefers short answers to long winded ones. 😉😉
