Polling data registers instead of having the UM7 broadcast them automatically won’t change anything. If anything, it will make the delay worse.

You can increase the broadcast rate until you get something closer to what you need, but in all cases you’ll need to utilize the reported system time in the packet to determine exactly how much time has elapsed between samples. You’d have to do that anyway to properly account for unpredictable serial port latency, which can be substantial (tens to hundreds of milliseconds, depending on what the system is doing) on a non-RTOS OS like Windows or even Linux.
