Interfacing Programs with BS1USB

I'm developing an application using the BS1USB as an input device, and I was wondering how I could go about allowing two programs to interact. For example, the only real purpose served by the BS1USB is to act as the input for a Hall Effect sensor, so that every time the sensor interacts with a magnet, the computer receives a signal. However, I would rather write the program that handles the impulses and responds to them in another language and have the code running on the host computer. What would I need for the program to register each impulse from the BS1USB?

    The BS1USB has limited means of communicating with the attached PC. Here's a Nuts and Volts Column that discusses this subject.
