Interesting, thanks!
So when I understand the header correctly I can get NSET (Number of overall
frames?), integration time (DELTA), write out frequency (NSAVC) and the first
timestep (not sure about the meaning of ISTRT - step 1).
With these information every thing else I want is at ones hand :-)
Since I am a noob regarding C or Fortran I'll played around with python and
came up with the appended script. But after the "NSAVC" header, something pops
up which is not documented on the above website. Does anyone know what it
exactly refers to?
Furthermore the "DELTA" looks messed up. It should be 2.0 fs.
Any clue what went wrong?
