Reassign temp

Dear all:

I'm trying to perform a couple of MD runs varying the temperature from
50 K to 300 K.
I've read the manual and I add this lines to the config file:

reassignFreq 100
reassignTemp $temperature
reassignIncr 5
reassignHold 300

but after I read the output file with the Namd-plot pluggin with VMD
the system is always at the final temperature.

I'll apreciate any help, I attached here a copy of my config file.

Thank's in advance

Marcelo
