The 520 will read Lab values from patches, so it could be used, at least
theoretically, with ProfilerPRO; the question (and this is a question for
X-rite, not ColorVision) is what the software with it can do in terms of
saving and exporting Lab values for use in third part applications. You would
not be very happy reading the Lab value of each patch from the LCD screen on
the device, and typing it by hand into a text file, so that the profiling
software could access it!

Look at the new MasterSuiteSpectro specials on the www.colorvision.com site,
they include a patchreader in the bundle, avoiding the issue of using the
520.
