Lab description:
 This lab will focus on how to construct lab reports and post them online to CMOSedu (ftp://ftp.cmosedu.com). Another portion of this lab will walk us through tutorial 1 in using Cadence, which is a tool we will be using for our schematics and simulations.

 

Step 1:

Log into the account assigned by Dr. Greg using MobaXterm

Step 4:
A schematic will appear, but you have to adjust both resistor values to 10K and the voltage to 1V. Check and save it.
If there aren't any warnings click on the Launch tab that is located to the very upper left corner. In the open tab, select ADE L.
