As stated at the top of the vector output file the vector is stored as
"vx vy vz cx cy cz cx+vx cy+vy cz+vz", so the X Y and Z components of
the principal axis (i.e. the axis with the largest eigenvalue) for
each frame are in the second, third, and 4th columns respectively. The
next 3 columns are the X Y and Z coords of the center of mass of the
atoms in the mask, and the final 3 columns are the sums of each
component.

I think that 'timecorr' from ptraj can only use vectors that are
marked with the 'corr' keyword. You should use cpptraj instead, which
doesn't have this restriction.

PS - The 'timecorr' analysis command calculates autocorrelations using
spherical harmonic averaging, so make sure that's what you want to do.
