Auto save csv files in Radio Astronomy plugin

[Pierre RMOB]

hello,

I would like to automatically save CSV files of plugin data without having to regularly press the buttons.
Is this possible?

Thanks

Not currently.

and is it possible on an update ?
At regular interval for example (every 10 or x mn)
Because if you take one drift scan while some hours and you missing press the button or you have a break for some reasons you lost all data

It shouldn't be too hard to add, but can you please clarify exactly how you are losing data, just so I can make sure I fix it appropriately?

I lose data if, for example, I have a power outage, or sometimes the program crashes.
This happens less often now, but there was a version that was unstable on my computer I'm under Ubuntu 24.04.
I often run drift scans for a very long time, because my antenna is only mobile in height.
Over several hours of drift scanning, a lot can happen if you don't monitor continuously.
Ideally, you would choose the file you want to save, as is the case today, and then the program automatically save it periodically at 10-minute intervals, for example.
In the event of a problem, you would only lose 10 minutes of data at most.
I name file of spectrum with "FFT" prefix and "TP" prefix for total power file.

Thank's
