each class has a single Da and Rh- so you need to separate each
experiment into its own class.

You shouldn't use the SANI term for HH experiments- use the DIPO term
instead and specify 
  type vard
so that the distance dependence is used (and taken out of the
expression for Da).

We use the convention that the rdc prefactor is normalized to those of
NH. This prefactor consists of the gyromagnetic ratios and bond
lengths. The force constants would then be multiplied by the inverse
of this factor.

You need to use the DIPO term instead. See above.

this error is encoded in the rdc table and the last number of the
assign statement.

I hope this answers your questions. 

As a final note, I'll make a plug for the RDC term in the Python
interface- there are tools to make many of these issues
simpler. However, I wouldn't look at it until we release the next
version in a week or so.

best regards--
