This sounds like a standard data-extraction problem -- read the 
document, parse out the portions which will be meaningful to the device, 
format them in a way that the device's software will understand, and 
send them along.

If the format you need to generate is textual in nature, 
XPath/XSLT/XQuery may be useful in doing the data extraction and 
formatting. If the format you need is binary, you're going to be writing 
your own code; the X* tools may be useful at the extraction end but 
formatting's going to be up to you and/or whatever libraries are 
available for talking to that specific device.

Without knowing exactly what the device is prepared to handle, I don't 
think I can offer much more specific advice than that.
