I just have the Innovate O2 wideband, works a treat and not expensive. It is temporarily fitted and powered through the cigarette lighter. Another handy tool I have is this multimeter that can read rpm. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

When setting mixture keep on winding down the jets until they don't increase rpm anymore, then wind back up one flat. Easy with the multimeter. That should set your fuel mixture about 13.2:1 and is how Volvo recommends it's set.
