Catch Sensor Window

The catch sensor window is located below the pitch/roll window and it indicates
catch sensor status and sensor activation time.

The program has an internal timer which counts sensor activation time. If the
trigger (indicated by showing red in a sensor status window) is present for two
minutes, the timer starts counting. This two-minute gap between trigger
presence and timer start is done to prevent false readings. After another minute
has passed, the indicator will show "00:01" and will update once every minute.
The timer continues to count even if the signal goes away (for example, the
catch sensor points in wrong direction). This is shown on the catch sensor
window by displaying a time, but no color (red or yellow) is seen in the catch
window. You may reset the timer by left-clicking Reset Catch Sensors in the
Options menu.
