Hello Neville, "temperature" means the initial temperature, and
"langevinTemp" (if you use Langevin) is the temperature that you want
the thermostat to keep. The instantaneous temperature will be around
it.
If you provide with velocities, the instantaneous temperature will be
calculated from the velocities, and that's why "temperature" should
not be used, to not override that information.
Giacomo
