[PD] triggered oscilloscope/bang on zero crossing?

[Derek Holzer]

Hi Mike, Roman,

thanks for the input! Of course I thought it would be simpler, but I did 
keep in mind this block boundary problem. [edge~] is a good suggestion, 
at least that's the kind of object I was looking for. I'll have a look 
at your forum patch tomorrow Mike (assuming I can find my login for the 
forum). The block issue, well that's another story...

best!
Derek
