EMSAT Violation Listing

As EMSAT analyzes a design, it records all of the violation information in HTML output file(s). EMSAT provides basic HTML
reading/editing functionality within its GUI, so that EMSAT users can seamlessly review and annotate their results. Each EMSAT
result set has a main HTML page with hyperlinks to each of the enabled rules. Clicking on a hyperlink brings up the specific
violation details for that rule.

When EMSAT displays the specific violation details for a rule, the HTML document is editable. This allows the EMC-
knowledgable user to include notes or to prioritize the violations before handing off the report to a team member whose job it is to
fix the layout.
EMSAT Violation Viewing

Once violations are identified for a PCB design, the ability to find and fix those violations quickly is vital to completing the design
on-time. To help with this, EMSAT provides violation viewing scripts for Cadence Design System's Allegro/PCB Design Expert
tool. The violation viewer is graphical, and the user can navigate through the enabled rules and the lists of violations. When the user
clicks on a violation, the board view is zoomed to the location of the violation, and the net is highlighted, or a highlight box is drawn
around the violation, as appropriate.
