Diagnostic tool that can perform a power bleed on puma ABS

Hi, I have an ongoing ABS issue with my 2009 2.4 puma Wabco system.
I fitted a new ABS pump unit and a new master cylinder and I’m looking to do a power bleed on the system to purge the air. Does any member know of a diagnostic tool apart from Nanocom. That will help me with this power bleed. I have a Gap3 and a Icarsoft neither of which will perform this on a 2009 puma. I really rather not spend another £470-ish on the Naocom unit just for the power bleed. Is there a cheaper option out there for DIY use.
I’ve done the standard manual bleed, but I’m concerned that this is not purging all of the air out of the pump which might be adding to my random ABS triggering problems.
I’m probably going to change calliper’s and pipelines in the distant future so want a system I can have and keep.
Looking forward to your replies, many thanks.

I had problems with air stuck in my ABS unit too, though it being the 2.2. After powerbleeding it was all good again. I used the lynx diagnostic tool for this and it worked okay. Only problem I had that the smartphone lost connection to the OBD connector a few times and I had to initiate the process again.
Not really sure how expensive it is but just have a look at https://www.lynx-diagnostics.com.
Might be an option to look into...
