Your problem is the wrong adapter.

In the mean time I have studied some documents about Tactrix Openport. This adapter does not create a COM port. The communication with this adapter requires a special API which is described in SAE J2534. The communication goes through a Windows DLL which sends commands via USB directly to the adapter without using a COM port.

I could theoretically implement the connection over this J2534 DLL into HUD ECU Hacker. The problem is that I don't have this adapter to make tests with.

The original adapter is very expensive and the chinese counterfeits come from China. If I order one now in times of corona panic, will it ever arrive at my home?

What did you pay for your adapter?
What software did you install to use it?

Do you have the possibility to buy an ELM327 adapter?
Price approx $10 USD.

Or do you know a bit of electronics and can build your own K-Line adapter as described in the Help file?
You need an USB to RS232 adapter and 2 transistors.
