Can Datamaster Read Above 6375?

Just like the title says. I like the ability datamaster to accept WB02 through the pressure sensor and configure it. I had an old edition of datamaster and it could only read to 6375rpm.

I heard that subsequent editions were updated to calculate the RPM up to higher numbers. Was this issue taken care of? Can the most recent edition of datamaster read higher?

Can any other scanning programs read higher? I'd like to purchase the most effective scanner.

I have the old hacked version or I would download the new version. You can't have them both, and I don't want to risk losing it all for a test.

So it most definately does record higher? I know it can scan higher, but the old version would just stop recording RPM values once it reached 6375. It would just sit on that number as I ran past it for a couple of frames.

TTT anyone able to check recent scans and let me know. I contacted Datamaster and they thought it had been addressed but couldn't be sure.

I just downloaded and reviewed past runs with the new version. It WILL record information above 6375. It uses a field right next to RPM called "RPM-16" which is a number calculated from the number of times the number 1 cylinder is fired. I had runs that showed as high as 7000 when I was on my limiter.
