Unless the card needs some initialization in your scripts, you can export its image without having to go to it:

  export snapshot from cd x of this stack
     to file tfilename as png


Mark W. made that extension to the export snapshot command a couple versions back (2.7?), and it's simplified so many things here. It used to be that snapshots got their stuff from the general display buffer, which meant that you couldn't have any other windows overlapping the region of interest. Then Mark changed the way snapshots work when he revamped the whole buffering scheme, so now when you use the new object specifier option it causes the object to be rendered into its own offscreen buffer, and that image data is what's delivered as the resulting image.
