There is no special documentation for this. Just what is already documented here:
Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) with Standard Deviation Lines

Note the documentation on that page for the "Volume Type to Use" that states the following:
"When using either Bid Volume or Ask Volume the option for Base on Underlying Data must be set to Yes or the calculation will be based on the Total Volume."

Even then, when using the Bid or Ask volumes, they will be very similar to the Total Volume. This is just due to the fact that the relative values among these three items is not that different for each period.

in addition i just created my own anchored vwap and have it one of my machines how do i get it to my other machime

If this is a custom study, then you need to put the .dll file in the 'Data' folder on the other system. Refer to the following:
