So, If I'm dataloging on the road and drive over a pot hole, that could potentially cause a 'false knock' at that moment, correct?

Thanks for all the helpful information, I just got a flashpro and I am trying to learn as much as I can!

just got Euro Flashpro and collected my first logs:
- knock Level is between 25%-80%
- knock retard is between 0%-10%
- knock count is constant 100 and doesn;t change even after ignition off - why is that?

regarding that constant 100 knock number - after i uploaded "stock equivalent Euro 2006+" tune to the car's ECU the knock readings started to work OK.

i actually saw quite a lot of knok counts - around 150 after 40 minutes of driving
most of them on cylinder 2.
the car is stock except AEM v2 intake.

is this normal?

nope!

You will have more knock counts when you first drive after a new calibration. the car is learning the fuel quality and setting the % knock to apply to the knock retard value.
