Default Calibrate Peak motor Current

I have jlog 2,6 along with jeti and kosmik. Running the 'kwa' firmware on the jlog.
I am noticing the peak motor current is different on the kosmik logs(sd card) vs the jeti logs (transmitter)

The jeti shows a much higher current.

Is there a setting to change to get these to match or get closet to the same value?

Read this.

With KOSMIK/JIVEpro JLog's ImotMax has been replaced by ESC's ImotPeak (although it is fake ).

Because the ESC makes a bit FOC during spoolup there is a shunt in each motor line. They measure the current only here, presumably in one line only.

This is "Imot", the only current given to JLog as "TelMe".
Problem is: That current is not entirely "genuine": integrated over time is does not correlate to mAh. Reason seems to be that the value freezes in time slots in which no current flows through the line in question.

There're two other items for electrical current:
Ibattery=Imot*pwm/100 ...Funnily enough, Ibattery correlates to mAh.
ImotPeak=1.79 * Imot .....Pure fake.

A user complained about Imot not correlating to mAh. Finally I change it, in log and telemetry:
- Ibattery takes the place of Imot/integrated (in log only)
- ImotPeak comes in place of ImotMax (log and telemetry)
(Imot is the item for motor current in telemetry and log as before.)

So ImotPeak has a behavior what is different from ImotMax: ImotMax can only grow whereas ImotPeak goes up/down.
