[AMBER] Issues with Calculating P^2 values with RMS fits

Dear Amber community,
I have run 20 ns MD simulations on a small molecule
(Fluorescein-5-maleimide) and am trying to calculate the S^2/P^2. Below are
the two different ptraj commands I have used, one defining the rms fit using
an average-coordinate pdb, the other using the first command. After
plotting the results I get different P^2 functions. How are these different
RMS flags affecting the P^2? And which one is best for calculating S^2 (the
asymptote of P^2) and rotational constants?

Thanks for any advice,
Dan Scott
