Check the data sheet for the module, it should tell you everything you need to know about interfacing with it.

Most likely it will appear as a serial port and you just use the normal facility provided by your platform to interface to a serial port.

I find it hard to believe this is a 'beginners' project. Does the FLUKE have a USB interface? Or are you reading via a USB converter?
is there are USB dll you should be using?
You need to learn through which port you are communicating on your PC.
You also need to learn the FLUKE commands for handshaking, start and stop reading.

This is before you artempt processing the data

ya actually this has to be done by me as my M.tech project , my guide is not concerned that am i beginner or not ?
FLUKE has complete DAQ module with USB converter and finally connecting to PC through USB!!! from where i can know about port number in my PC??
and the software given by FLUKE gives data directly in one text file , can i use that to get that data into my program ? and if this is possible then why to learn FLUKE command ? because after getting data into program ,there is nothing to do with FLUKE .
what i should read for learning these things !! is there any book or do you have some material on this which can help me in learning these things??

This will all be proprietary to Fluke, you will need to get and read the Fluke data sheets if they publish such things.
