Dear all,
i have a small question regarding the '-nosum' option of 'mdrun'.
The manual states:

For a global thermostat and/or barostat the temperature and/or pressure will also only be updated every nstlist steps. With this option the energy file will not contain averages and fluctuations over all integration steps.

Second sentence is clear to me. But the first sentence give me some thoughts. I think this would introduce some errors, but what is about the magnitude of these? I would expected that the errors are in the same order of the errors in the forces due to the neighborlist search (error due to the fact that one uses 'nstlist=5' instead of 'nstlist=1') and would be more or less negilegible, if one doesn't use a very larger 'nstlist'-value.

But to be on the save side i wanted to ask.

Greetings
Thomas
