Starting IC-CAP in Verbose Mode (Debug Mode)
IC-CAP 2008 can be started in verbose (debug) mode to display more information about what is occurring as IC-CAP runs. This extra information can be very useful to debug a problem with IC-CAP both at startup and in general operation. In verbose mode, IC-CAP writes log files that can be used by Agilent EEsof EDA Technical Support to help track down any problems.
To start IC-CAP in verbose mode, do the following:
| 1 | Open a UNIX terminal window. |
| 2 | Type iccap_verbose. |
This will start IC-CAP. You will see some messages indicating the location of two log files. Note the location of these files as indicated in the messages. The filenames are as follows:
If iccap_verbose is not found, you may need to set the HPEESOF_DIR and PATH environment variables.
Note
Run IC-CAP until the problem you are trying to debug occurs, then take a look at the iccap_daemon.log and iccap_verbose.log files for errors.
If you can't locate the trouble based on the contents of the log files, please contact Agilent EEsof EDA Technical Support. You will want to e-mail the log files to the support engineer you work with.
