Hi, next time please use the forums. This is mainly an area for developers. As for your request, I guess you need to write a new output plugin that saves DMX data to a file. Not an easy task if you're not familiar with C++ and Qt. There's a dummy plugin to help wirite a new one: https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus/tree/master/plugins/dummy

@mv2050arshad : And even if there was a plugin, a bit more info would've been nice:

Even without an existing plugin, you can stream the data out via network (sACN or ArtNet) and use another software to record. Open Lighting Architecture can receive both (ArtNet and sACN) and can record DMX data

@mv2050arshad : And even if there was a plugin, a bit more info would've been nice:

* What data format (binary, human-readable?)

* What do you want to use the recorded data for?

Good idea but i prefer to understand qlcplus process to make the plugin to export data to in any format that i want.
