Dynamics-based time averaging is generally not used with
Xplor-NIH. For ensemble-averaging, individual ensemble members are
allowed to freely move to satisfy restraints, such that very large
conformational differences are possible. Example of ensemble refinement
using PRE data can be found in the eginput/pre directory of the
Xplor-NIH distribution. This is the original reference for that work:

  Iwahara, J., Schwieters, C. D., Clore, G. M. (2004) Ensemble approach
  for NMR structure refinement against 1H paramagnetic relaxation
  enhancement data arising from a flexible paramagnetic group attached to
  a macromolecule. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 126, 5879-5896.
