<h1>Latency Timer Settings</h1>
<p>If you are using a BASIC Stamp development board with a USB&#160;connector, or a serial board with a Parallax USB&#160;to Serial Adapter, you may need to adjust your computer's latency timer settings if any of these are true:</p>
<ul>
<li value="1">The <a href="RunIdTest.htm" target="" title="" alt="" class="MCXref_0">Run/Identify Test</a> shows no Device Type, but a "Yes" in both the Loopback and Echo columns, or a "Yes" only in the Echo column.</li>
<li value="2">You have passed the Run/Identify test but when you try to download a program with Run/Run, you get a "No BASIC Stamps Found" message. </li>
<li value="3">You are able to download short programs, but not long ones. </li>
<li value="4">You are able to program intermittently, but sometimes it fails.</li>
</ul>
<h2>How to adjust the Latency Timer settings</h2>
<ul>
<li class="Checklist" value="1">Using the Identification window from the <a href="RunIdTest.htm" target="" title="" alt="" class="MCXref_0">Run/Identify Test</a> procedure, make note of the COM port number in the row where it displays a "Yes" for Echo.</li>
<li class="Checklist" value="2">Find that COM&#160;port in Device Manager.</li>
</ul>
