All spectros I'm aware of generate ASCII output, using standard measures
like Lab, XYZ, etc., so absolute worst case you might have to massage the
format a bit. I have the cheapie CM2C, and it can output just about
anything, in just about any format (comma-separated, tab-separated, etc.),
either to a file or as simulated keyboard input into a program like Excel or
Notepad.
