Run Modes of Virtuoso Studio Design Environment
When you start the Virtuoso Studio Design Environment in graphics mode, the Command Interpreter Window (CIW) appears. From the CIW, you can start individual Cadence applications.
In nongraphics mode, you can type Cadence SKILL commands or do any other work that does not require graphic display of designs or the graphical user interface. You can start Cadence software in nongraphics mode using the -nograph command-line option.
For more information, see Starting Cadence Software.
When Virtuoso has launched, the time taken to successfully checkout the 111 (Virtuoso Framework) license is shown in the CIW, for example:
\o Virtuoso Framework License (111) was checked out successfully. Total checkout time was 0.32s.
You can now go on to access some applications by selecting a menu item (such as from the Tools menu in the CIW) while other applications start automatically when you open a design cellview (using File – Open). For example, when you open a schematic, your schematic editor starts automatically.
