I'm not certain what you mean by your question. Whatever method you use,
all observed rdcs should be used to determine the Da and Rh. If you have
pre-calculated structures, eginput/protG/calcTensor.py does this using
SVD. If you have no structures, use calcDaRh and use that as a starting
point for eginput/gb1_rdc/anneal.py, followed by refine.py. anneal.py
fixes Da/Rh until final minimization. refine.py allows Da/Rh to float
throughout. In all cases, all available data should be used (from all
experiments).

best regards--
