Questions for those who have an Aeroforce Interceptor
 
Hey. I just installed an Aeroforce Interceptor this morning. It is working fine, but I do have a few questions about it.

My first question is regarding the announciater light. Right now, I have it set to go off if KR >0.2. The way I specified this in the menu was "above" "000.2". Is that correct, or should I have specified the reading as "0.200" instead? Also, on that same topic, how sensive is the light? For example, if a KR >0.2 were to come up for, say, 50 ms it would probably be too quick to see in the display, but would the lights still light up for a second or so? I guess I am wondering if the warning light function keeps the lights on for a fixed interval or as long as the actual scan reports, in which case it may be not possible to actually see the light of KR exists only for a short time.

Also, one feature of the AP I really liked was the ability to see the max KR recorded. This was very useful because I would not always have time to look at the screen the entire time I was doing a run, so the ability to see the max KR recorded after the fact was very nice. Is there any way to get a max value to "stick" with the interceptor? I'm thinking not but figured I would ask anyways.

I have not seen the lights go off yet, which is why I am wondering if I did not set the limit up correctly (0.200 vs 000.2) or if the lights will only go on as long as the scan condition. However, it is also possible that there was too much glare from the sun or that I just did not have any knock; the most knock I have ever seen with this stage 2 OTS map has been 0.4.

Thanks for the help.

Edit: After a bit of testing, I found that the correct way to alert for anything above 0.2 KR for example is to have the display read "000.2" and choose "above". I hit 0.3 KR very briefly and the lights went off long enough for me to see them and I also saw 0.3 displayed on the gauge. I am still wondering if there is a way to show the max value of a parameter, but I am not holding my breath. Also, for anyone else who gets an interceptor, you want to monitor the KR with a "s3" after it, not just the normal "knock retard" parameter.

I just installed mine about a week ago. I haven't messed with the annunciator yet but thank you for the information on how to set it up for KR.
