Isn't it "perl spike4.pl < <filename>"?

USB robot can be used to send the USB commands to the scanner under
Linux. It uses the sniffusb logfile to fo that.

I haven't used any of these tools so I can't talk about details. But
you must understand the sniffusb output anyway if you want to
understand the way how the host and the scanner communicate. Once you
know the basics of that communication, you can small programs to
filter out unneeded information.
