Not really. You will need to have the vehicle
steady-state for probably 5+ seconds (more likely
closer to 10 for a car) to get a consistent reading of
actual exhaust gases.

Absolutely.

No, but they tend to be very similar in terms of basic
design.

Not AFAIK.

No. It does have traps and filters that must be
cleaned/changed; check the manual for recommendations.

None that I can think of.

Not sure what is available on the market right now.
Most are pretty expensive. Looks like $2500 for a
used one is pretty common. New ones can run as high
as $7000.
