This depends on how often you recorded your coordinate trajectory. For
example, say you ran a simulation with a timestep of 2 fs (dt=0.002
ps) and you recorded a trajectory frame every 500 steps (ntwx=500).
This means that each frame in your trajectory has been recorded at 1
ps intervals. However, say you recorded your trajectory every 5000
steps instead - your trajectory then will have been recorded at 10 ps
intervals. Since lifetimes are always given in frames, it should be
easy to convert to ps based on how often your coordinate trajectory
was written to (e.g. in the latter case a max lifetime of 1 frame
would mean 10 ps).

Hope this helps,
