Hi Robert,
I added your request into our support system.

Assuming you simply want to capture an image for each time step just create 
your display
of the model data using all times. Then in your isl you can use the movie tag
without a file attribute. This will generate the images but not produce a movie.
From the docs: 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/IDV/docs/userguide/isl/ImagesAndMovies.html

    If no file attribute is specified then this just generates the images, not 
the movie. For example, you can not specify
    the file name but do specify the imagedir and this will generate the images 
and place them in the imagedir for later processing.
