Yes, your existing software can do this. Go to the Tools section of  
the menu bar, and in the Tools menu choose the Measure command (which  
is grayed out until you've chosen the Calibrate command, unless you've  
otherwise calibrated the device in the last hour). In the resulting  
spot measurement window, you can see density values. And you can save  
a series of measurements to a log, in various formats , for use with  
applications such as QTR. Some massaging of the resulting text file  
may be needed depending on just what you're doing with them, but its  
still faster than typing them in manually.
