- Calculate the frequency and get the right cylinder for each sensor.
- test, if both sensors working, if you have 2
- read out the noise from idle to max rpm with ignition little late, so knock would NOT occur.
- set the gain in a way, that the loudest noise is not recognized as knock.

Now the hardest part: try to let it knock...

Right this way?

What is the safest way to do it?
Just go earlier with the ignition and hear and look to the graph?
Would anybody please post a log with knocks, i like to see, how it looks 8-)

I don't have a log of knock, but it should show as massive spikes.
