Not really familiar with PCMSCAN, don't know if it works with a serial interface or what, but I use the cable from my AccessPort (Diagnostic to Serial) with ECUexplorer. Great (and free!) software, has some really cool features built in (like starting/ending a datalog with the defrost button). Unfortunately, the interface is really nothing special. Again I dunno what PCMSCAN has going for it (although I believe it does integrate well into the popular FEs, where I doubt ECUexplorer will), but that might give you a couple things to look into. Also, ECUexplorer uses the Suby-specific SSM profile as well as OBD-II, allowing it to read additional sensors, and at faster rates.

I personally plan to exit RR and use ECUexplorer separately when I'm at races, once I switch over to the Pandora.
