I don't know about Eye One Share, but since you are measuring grayscale
swatches, you may generically convert the L value to density like this:

If L > 8
Y = ((L + 16)/116)^3
Else
Y = (L * 27)/24389

Density = -log10(Y)

This will not be a bona fide Status T measurement, but depending on what
you're up to, it may suffice.
