The following is cobbled together from the release notes of these Siemens’ CAD tools. Note that after Calibre release 2013.3_*, two operating system streams were made available to users. For Red Hat Enterprise 5 users, files with ‘ixl’ in their names are required. For Red Hat Enterprise 6 and SUSE 11 users, files with ‘aoi’ are required.
| Pyxis Release | Calibre Interactive Release | Questa ADMS (ADiT, ADMS, Eldo and ICAnalyst) |
|---|---|---|
| 10.5_7 | 2016.4 | 16.4 |
| 10.5_4 | 2016.1 | 16.1 |
| 10.5_3 | 2015.4 | 15.3 |
| 10.5** | 2015.1 | 15.1 patch 1 and 15.2 |
* To run Calibre RealTime in Pyxis version 10.3 or later, one must have Calibre version 2013.2_18 or later.
** Pyxis releases 10.2 through 10.4/10.4_* are archival versions. We recommend that students switch to release 10.5
and above for all future work (January 26, 2016).
To test these installations, use the following commands.
Calibre: Change directory to $CALIBRE_HOME/shared/systest. Use test.CalibreRelease or test.Calibre, e.g. test.Calibredrc;
Pyxis: Use dmgr_ic to ensure the associated shell file is loaded; use da_ic or ic to see if licensing is correct. If these windows open, then the user is able to find a licence. Note that the dmgr_ic command will run without obtaining a licence;
Questa ADMS (AMS, Eldo, ADiT, ICanalyst): Use any or all of systest adit, systest adms, systest eldo and/or systest all;
Self-paced training: Unzip and install the Pyxis_qs_ekit.zip file. This kit is available from the Siemens website, or by sending in a request to CMC’s technical support: CMC Microsystems – Support
