The only direct way of getting Lab values is to use the single patch measurement tool, in the 
prefs.

The data files are XML though, so you can get a set of readings by doing a dummy target 
read, and extracting the data (Lab values) directly from the file. It wouldn't be too difficult to 
script that side of things and convert the values to any format you wanted.
