Can I use this to activate ABS charging pump?

I am getting ready to bleed brakes on my 2002 Infiniti Q45 for the first time and the factory manual instructs me to use a CONSULT-II device to activate the ABS charging pump. Here are the exact instructions for the portion that requires the device:

7. Touch “START (NISSAN BASED VHCL)″, “VDC″. “WORK SUPPORT” and “BLEEDING″ on CONSULT-II
screen in this order.
8. Depress brake pedal.
9. Loosen air bleeder on the LH front or RH rear wheel.
10. Touch “START”. (The pre-charge pump operates for 20 consecutive seconds, then stops.)
CAUTION:
At this time, keep depressing brake pedal.
While pre-charge pump operates for 20 consecutive seconds, pay attention to level of the fluid
in reservoir tank, and refill tank in order to always keep it at least half-full.
11. Touch “END″.

Can I do this with Nissan DataScan II? Or, even better, with the Android app?

Unfortunatly no. Nissan DataScan II doesn't have this functionality. PC nor Android.

Well, that's a bummer. It would really make brake bleeding a lot easier.

How about the newer version ?
This is something I really need to do on my car when I'm bleeding the brakes on the 350z.
