 For example to save a snapshot of the electromagnetic fields in the model at a simulated time of 3 nanoseconds use: ``#snapshot: 0 0 0 1 1 1 0.1 0.1 0.1 3e-9 snap1``
 
+.. tip::
+    You can take advantage of Python scripting to easily create a series of snapshots. For example, to create 30 snapshots starting at time 0.1ns until 3ns in intervals of 0.1ns, use the following code snippet in your input file. Replace `x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 dx dy dz` accordingly.
