Re: Meaning of lines in "run" part of log file.

The values do line up with the etitle if you have
a very large monitor and small font....

Can you use namdplot to get the information you need?

namdplot TEMP vs TS logfile

will give you a xmgrace window with the appropriate data.

I am making the assumption that you are using a linux OS though.

Brian
