is my 88 OBD-II compliant?

i have a 1988 camaro 2.8 v6( )and I took my car by autozone to get the codes pulled and one guy used the flash test system (which I know how to do - i just would rather have them do it for free while i'm there ) but another time i went there the guy used what looked like an OBD-II scanner (little orange handhled thing) and the scanner could read in real time with the engine running fuel/air ratio, electrical information and other stuff like that. is my car OBD-II compliant or is there some super scanner that can read both OBD-I and OBD-II vehicles and give real time information readouts like this one? It's a tool I really want to buy since it really helps narrow what sensors and valves are going since when code pulling in the 88 isn't always the most accurate thing in the world...

No.

OBD2 was introduced in about 96.

The simplest explanation that fits all the facts is probably the right one.

i know that it was, but then are there scanners that can actively read all that information?
