At the moment only the Eye-One is supported using MeasureTool for reading.
If you download 2.3 there's an EyeOne folder that has the info.  The likely
other formats for the future are for X-rite devices using ToolCrib.  The 
data files are simple text files so it will also be possible to just format your
data by hand.  The current system uses the Lab (L*) values but density will
also be supported.
