Issue with saving scan data as csv file in the confocal GUI #706

I am currently running confocal scans using the confocal GUI and everything works as expected. However on exporting the scan as a csv file, I get a blank file as output. I am having trouble figuring out how to solve this issue.

Are you refering to saving via 'Right click' into the scan -> 'Export...'? This (pyqtgraph provided) option was never properly implemented. The way to go would be to edit the confocal_logic and the save_logic to support csv saving via 'File' -> 'Save xy scan'. But as far as I see, csv is currently not supported by the save_logic.

That being said, in the soon-to-be-released new core saving is way more flexible and a CsvDataStorage object for your purpose is already available.
