I found the X-Rite Pulse ColorElite System w/ monitor profiler on Craigs list for $200 (unopened) - it is a strip reader - I read their 700+ patch targe in under 2 minutes the first time.. I am comparing profile output between it and the PFP product now...

I don't believe the mechanics of the device will allow that. I'm sure Datacolor is capable of comming up with a strip reader or automated patch reader but you may not like the price. If reading patches is too much work then you can always get a Spectralino for 7 grand and watch it do the work for you and don't even think about getting the level of service you get from Datacolor
