datamaster DOES scan codes. Picks them up automatically when you connect.

View-DTC codes

You first need to go to file---record...it will tell you you have so many remaining runs (free version) left. Click ok then a another box will pop up and then select your com port at the top. Then I think you will need to save the file to a name then it should connect and you can view your dtc codes
