Florian, this was a very helpful comment. Thank you. For the benefit of
lurkers, I copy some text from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expect

"*Expect*, an extension to the Tcl <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tcl> scripting
language written by Don Libes <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Libes>, is
a program to automate interactions with programs that expose a text
terminal<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_terminal>
 interface."

In my experience, Argyll already integrates well with shell scripts, and I
think that at some point Graeme will realize that single measurement is a
natural function of a measuring interface, and add a calibration and a
no-calibration single-shot measure option.
