Dear friends!
I`m just starting make a computation in TranSiesta.
I have three very important for myself questions. 

1.) I don`t understand physical properties of such parameters:  
TS.ComplexContour.NPoles, TS.ComplexContour.NCircle, TS.ComplexContour.NLine, 
TS.NumUsedAtomsLeft, TS.ReplicateA1Left, TS.ReplicateA2Left.
Last two I can`t find in Siesta manual. I`ll try to find this parameters in 
other resources (like in 
http://wiki.tstutorial.dreamhosters.com/wiki/Main_Page), but if somebody can 
help me by writing few words of explanation or can give me some other links, 
I`d be very happy :o)

2.) I calculated in Transiesta 10-AGNR with zero bias - 0 eV. Then by TBTrans - 
T(E). Some of T are: 1,46; 1,90; 1,08. So I think that 0<T(E)<=1, because T is 
normalized on 1. Am I right? I`ve some errors in my calculating? 

3.)
I`ve tried to calculate in Transiesta 10-AGNR with bias - 0.1eV. But I`d very 
bad results: Energies have been diverging, unit cell has been collapsing to 
chaotic set of atoms. 
Before it`s calculating I had been made Siesta calculating with good results.

Please, can anybody help me?
