Claim Text:
1. A method of monitoring an emulation environment used to emulate an Integrated Circuit design, comprising: emulating the Integrated Circuit design in an emulator, the emulator including multiple printed circuit boards housed in an emulator chassis, wherein emulating the Integrated Circuit includes mimicking the Integrated Circuit design using programmable logic; receiving temperature information associated with one or more of the printed circuit boards, wherein each printed circuit board has two or more temperature sensors, a temperature sensor being positioned at a hotter point and a temperature sensor being positioned at a colder point of each printed circuit board; receiving a selection of a first printed circuit board of the one or more printed circuit boards; displaying a user interface including the received temperature information for the first printed circuit board, wherein the user interface is a graphical user interface wherein the received temperature information comprises a current temperature at the hotter point and colder point of each printed circuit board, wherein the two or more temperature sensors of each printed circuit board are located at predetermined positions and wherein displaying the temperature information includes displaying temperature information at the predetermined positions, wherein the temperature information includes a maximum and minimum temperature at each predetermined position; and receiving a selection of a second printed circuit board of the one or more printed circuit boards and displaying the user interface including the received temperature information for the second printed circuit board, while no longer displaying the temperature information for the first printed circuit board.
