Description: Time scale of the CSVR thermostat in fs.
CSVR_PERIOD sets the time scale ([math]\displaystyle{ \tau }[/math]) of the 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_PERIOD 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.
