More instant "Oh my god it is knocking" than the secs I presume

The LED display if mounted in view is very good warning.

My understanding is the SECS shows the ECU's control of knock and will show you the after effects. The Knocklink will show you spikes (the important bit) as it is happening and probably more of a visual warning than the knock control display of the SECS.
