Note for display field 3:  
Oxygen sensor control behind catalytic converter is superior to oxygen sensor control before catalytic converter and is the 
primary control. It corrects slight changes in the mixture (i.e. enrichment or thinning) by holding the oxygen sensor control 
before catalytic converter at its higher or lower point for a specific time (duration). If this time is in the positive range (i.e. 50 
ms), mixture is shifted in the -enrich- direction. If this time is in the negative range (i.e. 50 ms), mixture is shifted in the -lean-
