Default Code reader/diagnostics ???

I have one of the draper code readers and for the life of me I just can't get the hang of it. Is there an alternative system that will actually display the fault code?

Best to have it put on a propper garage diagnostic reader that will take the code from the ECU and display it on screen not one that just tells you to count how many times the red light flashes and then work out what the code is from the number of flashes ive tryed them and they are a pain in the ass
