I have the OTC Advanced Monitor 4000 scanner with the Pathfinder '98 s/w
cartridge and the OBD-II cartridge.  It allows me to record and store 
outputs from
two different driving events.  The scanner's output is in OTC's own format 
so my
options for permanent recordkeeping are manual, purchasing OTC's printer &
interface cable or their display setup.

I generally do not use their OBD-II cartridge as I have found that their 
Pathfinder
software monitors and stores more PCM outputs.

Right now I can't think of a reason as to why it would not work on the Vipers.
Hope this helps.
