DESCRIPTION

18       gmx  sans computes SANS spectra using Debye formula.  It currently uses
19       topology file (since it need to assigne element for each atom).
20
21       Parameters:
22
23       -pr Computes normalized g(r) function averaged over trajectory
24
25       -prframe Computes normalized g(r) function for each frame
26
27       -sq Computes SANS intensity curve averaged over trajectory
28
29       -sqframe Computes SANS intensity curve for each frame
30
31       -startq Starting q value in nm
32
33       -endq Ending q value in nm
34
35       -qstep Stepping in q space
36
37       Note: When using Debye direct method computational  cost  increases  as
38       1/2 * N * (N - 1) where N is atom number in group of interest.
39
40       WARNING:  If  sq  or pr specified this tool can produce large number of
41       files! Up to two times larger than number of frames!
