I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Is it really instrument drift
you are interested in or rather the match (or error) between spectro and
colorimeter (I'm assuming the former, because the latter seems out of
scope for an utility like ccxxmake)?
The matrix itself is the correction needed for the colorimeter readings
to largely match the spectro readings, so the matrix already tells you
something (e.g. if both instruments gave exactly the same readings,
you'd have the identity matrix), but it's probably hard to interpret.
Maybe you're looking for some other metrics like delta E between the set
of test patches measured by the spectro and the colorimeter? Argyll's
'verify' tool can do this.
