Scanners, which one to use?

I have an old AutoXray scanner which works fine, but actually takes one snap shot and then I have to write down the results before I can take another scan.

Who has a reasonablly priced scanner which can log driving sessions and save the scan in a log file which then can be transfered to my main PC. I do have a laptop which I run AutoTap on for my LS1 powered Camaro SS.

Auto X-ray has an upgrade program that you can check out on their website at
www.autoxray.com. I currently have the auto x-ray EZ-Scan 6000 and it seems to work nicely and will interface with my computer.

If this is for your '87 get the free Moates software. Runs on a PC/laptop and will data log until the hard drive bulges. Here is a link:

Near top of page look for the ECM852.ZIP, that's the one.
