Knock sensing issues

hello,

got my car running ( I5 10v turbo MC audi engine with 1 knock sens.). Using 1.1.90 FW and knock chan 0. Pls check my log and tell, if this is right as my friend sees like 5 times stronger 'signal'indication on knock gauges and his I5 20v...tried 4 different sensors, using external knock gauge too - when hitting with wrench it flashes... Anyways for me it seems like knock sensor sesitivity is veryyy low...tried different engine places - same story. Maybe some settings are missing...
Here is my quick log: http://www.mediafire.com/?10dtb4ju85n0c83


Thanks,

Knock chip has adjustable gain. In 1.1.90 you can adjust gain for each cylinder individually.
As I knew for BOSCH non-resonant sensors with hole for screw gain = 2 is not too much. Because output voltage is really low.

You also can rise signal level by decreasing integral constant. But first try to find gain for each cylinder - you want equal signal levels when WOT. Then adjust integral constant so that maximum levels is 200-300 when no knock.

Please use 100% Knock reference for all cylinders

Knoksense works for years for Andrey. But 1.1.90 is questionable: Using 24-1 4cyl I got some problems when inj duty cycle hits 100%. full engine cut or two cylinders left.
