I know for a fact you can only get max revs on Ferraris with F1, since it's stored on the tranny's ECU. Could it be the same with DCT??? I've never read in the 2 years I've owned my car of a 6MT owner who can get that information. I'd like to be proven wrong, how it's done, and what information you actually get (like date, mileage, engine temp, etc). And what the hell is 'Ediabas software'? You need the hardware too to connect to the plug.
I'm pretty sure the dealer can do this. It's been discussed before. Unless you're asking whether the actual RPMs reached are ascertainable, in which case, I don't know. It may just say that RPMs over 8400 were reached...
