Hi. I have just moved to windows 10 and now I want to change the latency time from 16 to 2. Can you please explain more in detail how can I do that with the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\FTDIBUS\{Device VID, PID and serial number}\0000\Device Parameters\LatencyTimer

Thanks!

This is the Discalimer!
If you have never worked in the Registry Editor or do not even know how to open it, it would be a good idea to get someone who has experience with it and knows what they are doing, to help!
You are basically doing the equivalent of brain surgery on your computer!

The below PNG Image hopefully explains where it is if you are comfortable with doing this! In my case, I had done all the settings detailed in the first post in this thread and the old ELMSCAN5(ELM327 v1.4) adapter I have, had no noticeable difference in connection speed and the latency reading in the configuration tab(car Icon) was 1 ms less(4ms to 3ms) after this change!

Just be aware of messing up your computer if you mess around with anything else while having the Registry Editor open! Do not do any thing other than editing this setting in the registry! You are on your own if you attempt this!

I have the Vlinker and was wondering what or which is better and why?
So far I have great results with my setup

vLinker supports FEPS 18V programming voltage output in FORScan.
In simple terms, will offer the correct adaptation for programming similar to J2534 devices without the expense.

Moved on to program the new TCM unit and got an error message saying "this adapter is not recommended for the procedure. Forscan detected not enough performance of the adapter used. This operation is strongly not recommended! Our stats says that your chance to damage the module is about 50% or greater."

I'm using an adapter that has the MS / HS switch type of ELM327. IF I buy a different ELM327 that's auto will that maybe solve my problem? I'm stumped. Thanks for your help.
