FORScan forum

So I've used Forscan for a few years and I have a lifetime license. I always have an adapter (mx+, els27 v4 and now the obdlink ex) with me and my cell phone or tablet.

So I have a laptop (Panasonic Toughbook CF-C1) set up very nicely for Forscan. I have drivers for multiple adapters like: vcm, vcm2, xvdiag, neovi j-2534 along with more common els27, elm and obdlink adapters.

Just not on the same vehicle at the same time because of where the tools are located and my inability to have the same vehicle at each location.

I don't know if the modules or communication protocols are different but officially Ford released a new scantool software called FDRS for 2018 Ecosport, Expedition and Navigator. Supposedly the old/current IDS does not work on those vehicles. Maybe it is just a software deal that Ford is choosing to...

I'm trying different adapters and I came up with a 0 ms and 1 ms delay.
Can this be correct?
I didn't think such a low delay was possible.
