ECU n00b - Scan/Update

Hi,

I just ordered an equus 3160 OBD II + ABS unit and am wondering what it can do aside from the basics (scan, read and remove error codes). Can it reflash the ECU with updates from lotus? Is anyone familliar with this product and software?

Do I need anything else to preform ECU updates?

Thanks
