Diagnostic equipment

Having just failed smog, I am once again wishing for some sort of diagnostic equipment to help me troubleshoot these kind of issues.
Is there some instrment out there that I can buy that will allow me to find out when my emission look like before I go to the smog station?
I know that california forces technicians to buy new machines all the time. What happens to the old ones?

No they dont. The automotive industry may require updates to software for scan tools for newer vehicles every year, but that goes for every state - and newer cars are mostly on a dealership level anyways. The only forced changes made were when the Smog testing required the addition of the dyno machine.
