Most professional test instruments have some kind of interface - does the test device have any serial or IEEE interface? Livecode really can't grok the data space of another application. The application must provide an API or some kind of hardware interface.
If it's a Macintosh application, check and see if it has an Applescript dictionary. You can use the Applescript script editor to examine the app in question. If there is one, you will see the definitions and can do a "Do as Applescript". For instance, I built a mute button in Livecode to control Skype and iTunes at the same time.
