Default Diablo Trinity - Engine monitoring for detonation

I posted this on Diablosport's site, but I'll probably get a quicker response here.
-----------------------------------------
I have a heavily modified 2006 Mustang GT with a
forged bottom end & close to 15psi Supercharged boost.
I've got her custom tuned with my new Trinity and now I would like to monitor if there are any variables that can damage the engine such as knock or if I am at the limit of what my fuel system can deliver.
What variables can I monitor (specifically) to show these things & how do I interpret the numbers?
Detonation is my #1 concern.
Thanks so much for any info.

The PID you want to monitor is KNK SEN ADDER. The only thing is that if you have a twin screw or roots s/c, your tuner may have had to turn off your knock sensors since those type of blowers that sit on top of your engine can set them off.

I had to have mine turned off when my engine was turned into a 302 stroker, the combination of the extra stroke and the 20 over bore causes them to get set-off.

I don't know if you can monitor that PID on the trinity or if you have to use the livelink software with a laptop though. I have the SCT X3 and can only see that PID when using the livelink software.

UNless your car is super loud, exhaust wise, you should be able to hear the detonation pretty clearly.

However, interested in the response you get from Diablo.

Default It is super loud...

I don't think I'll hear detonation with the LT Headers & the Magnaflow's It's really really loud when I am on it.
I found the 2 PID's that were for the knock sensors however, as of right now, I am unable to determine how to interpret the constant data flowing from them.
