Forscan connectivity question

Hey Folks,
Long time lurker and new paid member. I installed an S&B 60 gal fuel tank and wanted to change the DTE settings. I have the software installed and OBD adapter hooked up. The problem is I can't figure out the the connection type from the drop down. The screenshot shows "COM" but I tried all the others but no joy. Any ideas?
To clarify, I cannot get Forscan to connect because it wants to use BT which I done have. My OBD cable set up is OBDLink EX and I don't know how to troubleshoot it.
VR,
David

Load and pair Bluetooth, then open Forscan, then it will show the connection? Is it blue tooth or USB, or cable?

Sorry that would have been an important thing to note. It's a cable.

Sorry I’m new here and don’t know how to use forum yet. This is the first FORScan topic I found. So I would like to get a FORScan setup to do the OCR on my power stroke. Would someone please tell me what I need to get and also I don’t have a laptop so can I use Bluetooth on my iPhone to make the changes. Thanks Steve
