Prior to using the INLINE™ 7, you need to decide how you want the unit to com-
municate with your PC. There are three options:
• Wired, USB Connection (pg. 13)
• Wireless, Bluetooth
®
Connection (pg. 14)
• Wireless, Wi-Fi Connection (pg. 15)
Wired USB Connection
A wired USB connection provides the advantages of high data throughput, low
latency, and a high-reliability data connection.
IMPORTANT:
ä ECU reprogramming typically requires both high throughput and critical
timing, and should always use a USB-to-PC wired connection.
Wired communication between the INLINE™ 7 and your PC requires an automo-
tive A to Mini-B USB cable (shipped with the INLINE™ 7).

Wired USB Connection in Chapter 3 of this manual.
