Scan tool/Datamaster help

[TRR]

I apologize in advance, as this has probably been covered a million times before.......
I have done several searches, but none have provided the info I need
I'm buying a Ty soon and I'd like to get a Datamaster and maybe a scan tool. Do I need both? Is the scan tool used to constantly monitor vitals, while the DM is mostly for WOT or track? Where do I get a scan tool? I found a site for the DM while searching. Are AKM Systems and/or TTS Power Systems still the recommended places to buy?
Thanks.
Scott

Ian,
So they're all doing the same thing? I guess I'll just go w/ the DM and laptop and be done.
Thanks.

There was talk of Ramchargers making a SyTy version of the Scanmaster. It's about the size of a radar detector, and monitors a few of the major sensors. It's generally easier to use on a day-to-day basis, but not as informative as a logged Datamaster run.
