I have not looked specially at this device but I know that many of these 
devices either come with or you can download a spot measurement software tool 
that will allow you to do individual measurements.  I know this is true for 
the Eye-One devices and also for many of the X-Rite devices.  If this is not 
the case for the ColorVision devices then I don't think they will be very 
usefull at this point for doing what you want to do.
