If you know what you want to change, then First is make a backup of all the modules (ie Download to your system). This way if you make a mistake, you can always restore them.

Guessing by the OPs other post, I think he's referring to trailer brake controller initial gain setting. It's been a while since I set one up so someone else will need to chime in.

Too much gain and the trailer tires lock up, too little and the trucks brakes work too hard

As for the TBC, I set the gain at 5 to start. When I tested it in a parking lot, it was a little light, so I bumped it up to 6, and it's been there ever since. As per usual, YMMV.

And to the OP, don't think Forscan can set the "Gain". I've never seen an entry for it and it isn't a global setting. Ie my question above.

I don't set the gain in forscan, I set it with the TBC itself. TBC has little +/- buttons, and pushing one or the other immediately displays on the console where the gain is.

Don't know, as the trailer we use the brake with is the only trailer we use the brake with. It stays where I set it, and it knows which trailer is which.
