1. Login to CNF Thin using the ThinLinc client installed on Windows workstations or a CNF Thinstation.
2. Open a terminal prompt (Applications menu → CNF Applications → XTerm) .

3. Type in (below example is for minx... Coventor is on both Korat and Minx):
   
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   vglconnect -s minx -S ${TLSESSIONDATA}/minx

   
   

4. After a successful connection is made to Minx, start Coventor with the following command:

   Code Block
   language bash
   setenv VGL_PROBEGLX 0 vglrun /opt/local/bin/semulator3d10semulator3d12

   
   

If you run any additional Coventor commands directly from the commandline, you must prefix those commands with "vglrun" as shown above. Otherwise the graphics will not work correctly.

There are two ways to use Python in Coventor (note the below references version 10 of SEMulator... we have not tested newer versions, yet):

1. As a standalone python script
   
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   $ vglconnect -s minx -S ${TLSESSIONDATA}/minx (minx) $ bash (minx) $ source /opt/local/Coventor/SEMulator3D10/bin/semulator3d.sh   # Verify python version is 2.7.x: (minx) $ pythonpython2 --version   # Run code with python (minx) $ pythonpython2 /path/to/filename.py

   
   

2. Call python as a process step within SEMulator3D
   Useful to do specialized things with the standard, single device GUI interface.
