DataMaster is simply the best GM OBDI scan tool/data logging software available today. DataMaster was specifically written to give the end user comprehensive means by which to monitor their vehicles' performance, and includes data recording and playback of virtually every sensor and PCM status bit in the system. In some cases, this is upwards of 130 data items! This information can be very valuable when tuning you vehicle or diagnosing a problem.
