New Feature Idea

I think it would be great if kmanager would play a sound when knock happens or when a/f gets to a specified level while datalogging.

I would love getting lean/knock notification while datalogging. I can't drive and do WOT runs on the road while looking at the laptop screen. Lean cuts, while a great feature, get really taxing after a while of tuning WOT. With an audible alert before the cut, it would give one time to let off the throttle / push the clutch so it wouldn't be like hitting a brick wall and bouncing.

you may flash the engine light, by clicking on it.

the CEL is amazingly difficult to see in daylight.. now if all our datalogging were done @ night-time, that would be a different story.

Wouldn't you need to increase the trigger time for the lean protection?

What I mean is, default is 250ms, or 1/4 of a second. I doubt that 1/4 of a second is long enough for my brain to recgonize a sound, know what it means, and then let off the throttle all in a quarter second.

Using racing + visual cues as an example, most drag racers only cut around .500 reaction times, that's half a second from the visual cue to positive forward motion.
