Hi
With this option, there is not a single threshold to set. For a detailed explanation, see a previous post:
https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind0905&L=fsl&D=0&1=fsl&9=A&I=-3&J=on&d=No+Match%3BMatch%3BMatches&z=4&P=209265
In general we don't recommend this, but if you want to constraint tracking by setting a specific FA threshold, then you can create a thresholded FA mask (e.g. using fslmaths) and use that as a brain mask in probtrackx.
