Spent $800 on a fancy diagnostic scanner for the shop and it's been nothing but trouble

Bought the 'Pro-Diesel 9000' last month thinking it would cut our diagnostic time in half on these new emissions systems. It freezes up constantly, gives false codes on common rail pressures, and their tech support just tells you to reboot it. What's the most reliable scan tool you guys actually use day in and day out?

False codes on common rail pressures" sounds like a real headache.

Heard a tech say bad grounds can cause those phantom readings. Makes sense since voltage spikes mess with sensors.
