As with other properties, the value you want for <DV/DL> is the equilibrium
average. This means that you generally must discard values obtained during
the "equilibration" phase, and only use those once the system has become
stable. Depending on you system, 400 ps might or might not be long enough to
establish a good equilibrium; (it probably is too short a time except for very
simple systems.)
