\item \emph{Low-scale constraint:} The low-scale constraint is the
constraint where the SUSY model is matched to the Standard Model.
This is done by calculating the gauge couplings $g_i$ ($i=1,2,3$)
and the Yukawa couplings $y_f$ ($f=u,d,e$) from the known Standard
Model quantities $\alpha_{\text{e.m.}}(M_Z^\pole)$,
$\alpha_{s}(M_Z^\pole)$, $m_f^\pole$, $M_Z^\pole$, $M_W^\pole$. The
details of the calculation are explained in
sections~\ref{sec:calculation-of-gauge-couplings}--\ref{sec:calculation-of-yukawa-couplings}.
Currently this scale is fixed to be the $Z$ pole mass scale
$M_Z^\pole$. The calculation of the gauge couplings is done
automatically and is not needed to be specified in the
\code{LowScaleInput} variable. The calculation of the Yukawa
couplings is optional. If the Yukawa couplings are set to the value
\code{Automatic}, they are determined automatically from the known
Standard Model fermion masses $m_f$ as explained in section

Optionally the Yukawa couplings $y_f$ ($f=u,d,e$) can be calculated
automatically from the known Standard Model fermion masses $m_f$ by
setting their values to \code{Automatic}. This automatic
calculation is explained in section

from $M_Z$ and $\tan\beta$ at the low-scale the GUT-normalization has
