The SCM (logo) menu

All BAND-GUI modules have the SCM menu on the left-hand side, on most systems represented by a small SCM logo. You can easily switch between the different modules of the BAND-GUI using this menu:

• Input: activate BANDinput
• View: activate ADFview
• Band Structure: activate BANDstructure
• Movie: activate ADFmovie
  
• Logfile: activate ADFtail
• Output: activate BOB

When you use the SCM menu while some file is connected to the current BAND-GUI module, the selected BAND-GUI module will be activated showing data belonging to the same calculation. The title bar of any BAND-GUI module shows which file is connected, if any. Thus, you can easily switch between viewing the logfile, output, input, orbitals, etc, all belonging together.

When you use the SCM menu when no file is connected (the title bar just shows the name of the module), the selected BAND-GUI module will be started without file.

On most platforms you can tear off the SCM menu by selecting the dashed line at the top of the menu.
