I was lucky enough to realize how usefull the PM97 would be a couple of years
ago.  Looking back, I wouldn't bother doing any EFI work without one.  I
bought the RS232 optical interface and have used it to print out waveforms
and to log data.  I didn't spend the then many hundreds of dollars for the
Phillips PC software.  The RS232 adaptor comes with a hefty instruction
manual (which is incidently bigger than the PM97 manual) which explains
how to send and recieve commands.  It's all quite basic.

Phillips also advertise an 'automotive kit' which basically includes lots
of nice sensors such as inductive pickups.  I don't think that there
is any software changes but if there was I would be happy to find out 
about them.  I'd like to duplicate the multiple high tension signals
that you average workshop oscilliscope can display.
