Would it be possible to adapt the QTR measurements file format that it 
resembles Monaco Profiler input files?  For almost all the spectrometers 
around there's a tool that will deliver the last filetype.  X-Rite's 
ColorPort could be used to make the targets for most of the other tools 
(SpectroCam-Avantes) and ColorPort itself can be used as a measurement 
tool for the X-Rite and Gretag-Macbeth meters.
