about delta-G in PMF calculation

Dear NAMD users,

In the beginning of the log file of the PMF calculation, we see the
"delta-G" term as below :

FreeEnergy: nstep time(ps) task lambdaKf lambdaRef delta-G
#steps n*{value target |}

What does this "delta-G" mean? I mean what is the definition of delta-G?
Is this equal to delta-G/delta-lambda?
Thanks a lot!
