Using the above command [ Snapshot script ] hooked up to a Timer Stop Event, I was able to run another Timer and Scripts to render a sequence of images without errors
Note: You need to setup Render to File first!

Uncheck "Save animation from frame"
This will cause an Error!

tS76 Snapshot Render to File icon
LMB - Sets the Render to File
RMB - Opens Folder

Reset - Sets the Render to File
Save sequence starting with = 0
Anim View - Start Frame

Frames - Number of Frames to Render
Period - Speed of which Frames are Rendered
Frames - Current Frame being Rendered
Render Frames - Starts the process

This process supports Rendering while scripts,
Activities, and Timers are running
Render to File option,
Save animation from frames
is not supported while scripts are running

Set - Render to File on first use!
Optional
Uncheck - Reset to continue rendering
additional frames

Special thanks to Clinton for the scripts to set the Render to File
