Martin,

You can call X-Rite (toll free # on their site) and they will have someone 
from Applications call you right back.  They will tell you that even if you 
buy their hardware connection, the pins might not be right and you will have 
to figure it all out yourself.  There is no magic formula for the settings.

I primarily use my 310TR, which displays V plus the 3 colors together, to 
read 38 patches for my Kodak Dye Sub.  I decided to bite the bullet and hand 
write the 152 numbers and then plug them into the Kodak software.  It is one 
giant pain but only has to be done every 100 sheets.  

The X-Rite Aplications guy really scared me off, but you should call.  Maybe 
you would think it's worth a try.  There is hardware and adapters online that 
is much cheaper than X-Rite's.  You can then read the stuff into Excel and 
print it or transfer it.
