Re: [AMBER] How to control the speed of heating?

the fluctuations depend on which thermostat you use. all the TEMP controls
is the bath temperature.

my personal preference is never to heat from such a low temperature. I find
it perfectly acceptable to assign an initial T of about 200K (still very
cold) and heat from there.
