The ADF-GUI consists of several modules:
ADFjobs
This utility ($ADFBIN/adfjobs) manages your ADF jobs: run a job on your local machine or on remote machines. It also serves as a interface to all files belonging to your job, and it serves as a convenient launcher of the other ADF-GUI modules.
ADFinput
This program ($ADFBIN/adfinput), which enables ADF users to easily create ADF jobs. You can use ADFinput to define your molecule (geometry), pre-optimize it, and to set details of your ADF job using an easy-to-use graphical user interface. ADFinput will generate the complete job script for you. This script takes care of running ADF and property programs as required.
ADFview
A simple program ($ADFBIN/adfview) that displays volume data, such as electron densities, orbitals, electrostatic potentials and more. It also shows scalar atomic data (like charges).
ADFmovie
This program ($ADFBIN/adfmovie) follows geometry steps as performed by ADF during geometry optimizations, IRC calculations, etc. Actually, it will display just any series of changing geometries, and is also used to display normal modes calculated with a frequency calculation. It can also show graphs of several properties as a function of the geometry step.
ADFlevels
This program ($ADFBIN/adflevels) generates a diagram showing the energy levels of a finished calculation. You can interact with it: show an interaction diagram (how the molecular orbitals are constructed from fragment orbitals), show labels, occupations, orbitals, etc.
ADFspectra
This program ($ADFBIN/adfspectra) the spectra calculated by ADF. It can show IR, PVDOS, Raman, Excitation, MCD, VCD and CD spectra, as well as a DOS plot. For some spectra it can also provide additional information, like a visualization of the normal modes or orbitals.
ADFdos
This program ($ADFBIN/adfdos) shows the DOS graphs for ADF. Both the full DOS and partial DOS is available: you can select which atoms (or even which functions on some atom) should participate in the DOS.
ADFtail
A minor ADF-GUI utility ($ADFBIN/adftail) that will just show the contents of a text file, updating when the text file grows (like the UNIX tail -f command). It is used to monitor the 'logfile'. The progress of an ADF calculation is always written to this file.
ADFoutput
A output browser ($ADFBIN/adfoutput) for the output generated by ADF. It displays the full output file, and provides short-cuts to the most common things of interest (including properties).
GUIprefs
All preferences that are being used by the ADF-GUI and the BAND-GUI.
