I reiterate - the ECU uses the knock sensor to adjust the timing to the best it can be. It advances to knock and then pulls back slightly. It needs to hear the knock to know where it is. The DashHawk just shows the few clicks it needs to feel out the best setting.
My point is that if you can replicate knocking under certain conditions (i.e., certain rpms & loads), then tuning should be able to pre-emptively address whatever's causing it and stop the initial knock from happening. My .02 cents.
