I thought you get a scanner with LT1 Edit? There are different levels you can buy and I think I got the higher one. It had scanner with logging.

AFAIK lt1edit does not come with a scanner, unless they've added that recently.

For the autotap scanner, go to this page: http://www.autotap.com/product_family.asp?FamilyId=260

and you need either the ATS or ATU ($199, ATU = usb, ATS = serial) and the option to add GM enhanced parameters ($99).

I use my LT1 Edit scanner all the time. Had it since 2003.

They have a scanner for obd1 (your car is a 94?, in your sig) but not for obd2. The OP has a 97 which is obd2. Autotap is the only obd2 scanner I'm aware of that can log all parameters.

Oh ok that's the difference. I assumed that since they had a scanner for OBD1, they'd have one for OBD2. Kinda odd they don't.

Probably because it's much easier to write a scanner for obd1. There are several scanners for 1 freely available on the net, they might have even gotten theirs from someone else.

There's no free ones available for 2 though, unfortunately.

I had never looked for an OBD2 scanner because, well, I never needed one.

LT1Edit for OBDII has not been supported for years, which is probably why they never bothered to write one.
I use AutoTap for Windows, with a USB port to my PC.
I wonder how much data you could see on a Palm?
It is nice that they include the enhanced parameters, but it does appear that you also need another cable as well, and possibly a null modem.
Personally, if I had it to do over, I would get the Jet software over the LT1Edit. It is still supported, and the interface I saw had more options than LT1Edit.
