Understanding the movecs file


Just Got Here
Hi,

I am trying to reconstruct the electron density of the atoms. Instead of taking the detour of a cube file, I wish to directly load the movecs file. So far I have compiled the mov2asc utility and obtain the following for a Helium atom. However I am not sure what the numbers mean in each line (sorry for my limited quantum chemistry background).

Apparently this has to be combined with the stdout file which says:

But I am not sure how to connect the information from each file. Could someone give an explanation, perhaps using this specific example? Thanks!
