Difficulty level on Scan Tool Usage

I have a scan tool (Snap-On) to use for a couple of days. My question is - how hard is it to use? I need to gather data from my car to send to a chip burner. I havent had a chance to look over the book yet but I just want a ballpark overview of what im getting into. Is a few days "enough" time to gather good data? Will it bombard me with a slew of acronyms that i dont know? Im fairly knowledgable on both computers and cars if that will make a difference.

thanks
