Ever since I purchased my Lenovo tablet, Tegra 3.0,  I've considered diagnostic software for it.  I have an old laptop that might serve as well.

I'm looking for opinions on software that goes beyond Touchscan / Obdwiz / Torque software.  I want to be able to pull codes / DTC's, reset the codes, etc., but I also want to be able to monitor sensors, DPFE voltage, EGR solenoid voltage, etc.  So, I don't want just a code reader.  More like a software scanner that can display sensor values in real-time.

Of course, I know I can spend upwards of $300 to $2500 for software, but I'd rather spend $80 - $100, and still be able to work with GM, Ford, (KIA?).  I don't know if such capability exists in software of that price.  I've looked at Auterre, which lets you monitor up to 6 PID's, for $153 + $49 for make-specific enhanced modules, but I haven't read any posts or reviews from anyone that's used it.

Feedback of all kinds, even those that have used Touchscan / Obdwiz / Torgue software is welcome.  I've been running down a P0401 code, involving EGR, EGR solenoid, and DPFE, and vacuum issues.  I thought now might be a good time to test such software.

I'm hoping I've come to the right place.  If you have suggestions about groups that might be more appropriate, please feel free to inform me.

Thanks!
