Hello,

 Thank you for advising me on WHAM program.
I understood hist_min hist_max and loc_win_min .
Then I prepared metadatafile(test.out) and timeseriesfile , and I carried
out the next wham command

> ./wham 2 20 180 0 298 0 test.out TEST

Then wham produced output file(TEST) resembling

#Coor Free +/- Prob +/-
2.050000 nan nan nan nan
2.150000 nan nan nan nan
2.250000 nan nan nan nan

Why Free energy column and the others are $B!H(Bnan$B!I(B?

Could you please give me a suggestion?

Thank you
A. Okabe

Hi,

You don't need to manipulate DUMPAVE except perhaps discarding sampling
that's not equilibrated.

hist_min and hist_max define the range of the distance in which the
potential of mean force is calculated. loc_win_min is the center of your
umbrella window, i.e. the value you used for r2 and r3.

Regards,

Guanglei
