To my knowledge there is no such script. I certainly have never written
one.

The old XPLOR DCSA term syntax is documented here:
http://nmr.cit.nih.gov/xplor-nih/doc/current/xplor/node427.html
and specify the atoms to be C(i-1), N(i) and HN(i), in that order. For
the Python interface, you can use those atoms or N(i), C (i-1), CA(i).
Or you can redefine any tensor parameters. Some discussion is given
here:
http://nmr.cit.nih.gov/xplor-nih/doc/current/python/ref/csa-methods-marvin.pdf

the observed values are relative to the scalar chemical shift. i.e. the
principal components of this chemical shift tensor sum to zero.

I can't help you too much on this- if you're simulating CSA values
perhaps you can choose some value like 5% of the maximum possible?

Why useless?
