Hi,
Be aware that timecorr converts the vector Cartesian XYZ coordinates into
spherical harmonics, which is most useful in the context of comparing to
NMR data. If you just want the straight up autocorrelation (or cross
correlation) just use the 'corr' command, which is able to handle periodic
data sets. Be aware that the data must be generated with a cpptraj Action
(e.g. dihedral, pucker, etc) for cpptraj to know it is periodic (i.e. sets
read with readdata won't be periodic).
Hope this helps,
-Dan
