Description: Time scale of the CSVR thermostat in terms of the number of MD steps.


CSVR_PERIOD sets the time scale () of the CSVR thermostat CSVR_thermostat. It is expressed in terms of the number of MD steps and must be interpreted in combination with the time step set by POTIM. Typically, CSVR_thermostat should take the values corresponding to 2-2000 fs, whereby the smaller the value, the more aggressive the thermostating. The special setting CSVR_PERIOD=0 generates the NVE ensemble.
