Very important!
Resistor spark plugs must be used, because they produce less electromagnetic disturbances.
Danger of electric shock!
Avoid connecting PDCI to 12V power supply, before connecting it to ignition coil, because
high voltage is generated and touching free wires can cause electric shock, or damage of the
unit.

It is compensation of signal delay from pickup to spark plugs. You can check this delay with
stroboscope lamp. Without this compensation, ignition advance angle decreasing with rising
revs.
This compensation helps that advance angles in ignition curve are real (more accurate).
How to check, if compensation is correct:
First you must set flat ignition curve. Then measure with stroboscope lamp, if mark at
flywheel moving when changing revs. If mark moving then you must change compensation
delay.
