Dear Giacomo,
Thank you very much for your great help. Now it is clear for me. I have another question if I am not bothering you, if there is NAMD implementation of covar varible for simple rotation around the pivot point without fitting. Could you please give me reply, ti will be great help for me.
Have a nice day,
Thanks again,
Maiti

OK, I see your problem now. You're using the syntax of distanceZ to define the axis, via the groups "ref" and "ref2".
spinAngle is defined differently, with an explicit "axis", such as (0, 0, 1) for example, and a single group of atoms, called "atoms", and the reference coordinates define the rotation. It works the same as "orientation".
colvar {
spinAngle {
axis (xx, yy, zz)
atoms {
....
}
refPositionsFile ....
}
}

Dear Giacomo,
Sorry for unclear reply. Now I writting clear email. I am trying to prepare covarsconfig file in below. But above file is not correct, sorry for that. I sent you for understanding my problem.

main and ref atoms indicates the angles of group of atoms and ref2 indicates axis. Could you please give me suggessions about the correct way preparation of covarsconfig file for spinangle, it will be great help for me.
Have a nice day,
Thanks again,
