Can the AutoXray 6000(http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku) do the same things that Datamaster can do? Which one is better?

 

the autoxray cam only capcher 29-frame capture .data master records for a long time and is like 98. if you are locking for a scan tool lock into a used teck 2. you can find them on crags list at tims for 500 its the best for gmes and it will do 87-08 if you get the new sofwar instaled .but make shor it has the update for the can mogel for later use

 

The Auto Xray 6000 includes scan software that allows you to continuously capture PCM data for an extended period of time, using a laptop.

As far as the original question... DataMaster is only for OBD-I. Unless your 96 has an OBD-I conversion, it won't work with your car.

These are two signifiacntly different products.... DataMaster is limited to very specific OBD-I vehicles, and only works with a laptop. It includes some interesting graphic presentations of the data, but I still prefer to convert the data to an Excel spreadsheet for a more detailed analysis. The Auto Xray 6000 is both OBD-I and OBD-II. And it can be used as a handheld, not requiring the laptop unless you want extended data collection.

 

I don't have a lab top that is why i am interested. With datamaster I would have to buy the software, cables, convert to OBD1, and buy a laptop. Auto Xray 6000 would be cheaper for me.

 

Also, will AutoXray 6000 work with Windows Vista? I don't see anything on their website.

 

Send'em an e-mail. They've been good about answering in the past.
