To CSI User Community,
Is there a way via RTMC Development for a user monitoring an event to select a command button which would capture a current record in the server's cache or output it to a file?

As far as I'm aware, RTMC only displays values from files that Loggernet has already collected from a logger, so whatever your user can see is already in a file (or the cache if no output file is selected) depending on where you specify in scheduled collection.
Saying that, you can use switches in RTMC to change a variable so you could use this variable in your program to trigger a file being written to a card or emailed etc. You can also browse directly to the public table through the Browse Data tab and change it from there but this isn't all fancy and graphical.
Thanks--The analogy of what I'm trying to accomplish would be a screen capture of an RTMC screen by a user manually selected based on an event taking place. For example, If a record contins: Date/Time, Ws1, Wd1, & Ws2, Wd2 and the data is updated every second, I would like to be able to cature data at any moment in time. I may have to look a LN SDK.
RTMC Pro has the ability to run CoraScript commands. You may want to look over those commands and see if one will fit your needs (the RTMC help lists the commands that are supported). Particularly, look at Logger-query : most recent (or, there may be other commands that accomplish what you want).
Another option which might do what you want is to set up a report in RTMC Pro, and use the Report Export control to save a PDF, image, or other file format of the current display.

Thank You kindly! Yes CoraScript is an alternative I didn't even think about and the report export may do the trick. I will try these suggestions.
Wx2day!
