Analysed channels

Activate the checkboxes of the detonation sensors which you want displayed in the tabs Actual knocking values and Knocking history. If the display of a sensor is deactivated, the signal of the detonation sensor still continues to be monitored.

Sound recording

If the device is connected to the running engine, you can make sound recordings of the signal of a detonation sensor. This is generally executed by MOTORTECH personnel and should only be performed upon their request (see Customer Service Information).

Proceed as follows:

  1. Set the desired detonation sensor in the field Selected sensor.
  2. Set the desired recording length in the field Record length [s].
  3. Then click on the button Record sound file.
  4. Select a save location for the sound file (*.au) and enter a filename.
  5. The recording ends automatically after the set recording length or you click Stop to stop the recording in advance.

Display

You can select which value is displayed in the knocking intensity pointer instrument via the following settings:

Knock LED latch – Enable knock LED latch (switch ON/OFF to reset)

Activate the checkbox so that the status display ENGINE KNOCKING remains lit when knocking is detected which falls below the Ignition reduction limit. With this setting, the cylinder which triggered the knocking can still be identified after the engine is shut off. In order to delete the status display, deactivate the checkbox and activate it again.

Diagnose

The binary and analog outputs can be tested via the settings in this area. Activate the checkbox to activate the respective output. You can simulate an analog output signal via the field Reg. output in order to test the connection to an ignition controller, for example. The checkbox Diagnose has to be deactivated again for the current operation.
