Why not contact Software Bisque and ask them about their scope driver API?
Contact    support at bisque dot com   or   daniel at bisque dot com 
and he can send it to you.

I've written camera drivers and AutomaDome drivers based on their 
APIs and I don't program much anymore, so you may find it very do-able.
