Snapshot SNP file

To create a set of snapshots of any molecular dynamics run, press the Snapshot button of the Molecular Dynamics Options dialog box to bring up the Molecular Dynamics Snapshots dialog box for naming a snapshot file. A snapshot file contains snapshots of the coordinates and velocities of a molecular system along the trajectory. The dialog box allows you to name the file and decide at what frequency to take snapshots. For example, choosing the snapshot period to be two data steps implies that only every other time step is stored in the snapshot file. 

The format of the binary snapshot file is described in the Reference Manual.
