Prerequisites

In order for Pegasus Interactive to run and report errors correctly, following information needs to be pre-established:

• Snapshot: pre-compiled DRC deck that is loadable by Pegasus
• Color scheme setup for Pegasus Results Viewer

When both Pegasus and Virtuoso are available, Pegasus Interactive toolbar is ready to be used on the layout window once it is opened. However, toolbar may not be fully enabled if no snapshot is detected by Pegasus Interactive during layout opening.

You can create your own set of local snapshots or refer to global snapshots provided by CAD.

For details on creating local snapshot, refer to following:

• Quick Start: Create Snapshot
• Manage Snapshots

For details on setting up global snapshot, refer to following:

• Snapshot Directory Types and Customizations
• Batch Commands

Pegasus Results Viewer is the default browser for both Pegasus Interactive and Pegasus. It has its own set of Pegasus specific display packages. Thus, it is required for you to integrate this set of display package within Virtuoso for proper error highlight capability.
