Data Export Plugin

[info at transmissiontuner.com]

I am very interested in and need a python data export plugin to export 
snapshots of data to a .csv file with a user key event.  This feature 
would greatly reduce laborious note taking when analyzing data in KST.

I was trying to reply to an older thread but could not for various 
reasons - my apologies for starting a new thread.   If no one has time 
to build it in the next 6 months or sooner, please point me to more 
information on how to build it and I will try to do it as I have time.  
I am very new and inexperienced with coding, especially with Python, but 
I have a lot of motivation to learn. I have windows and linux. Below is 
some of the older thread, specifically regarding the data export:
