EE 421L Digital Integrated Circuit Design - Lab 1
Laboratory introduction, generating/posting html lab reports, installing and using Cadence

Pre-lab work

• The lab reports will be drafted using html and placed on CMOSedu.
• Prior to the first day of lab, but no earlier than one week before the lab starts, get a CMOSedu account, using your UNLV email address, from Dr. Baker, rjacobbaker@gmail.com  
• Review the material seen here covering editing webpages (do this before the first lab)  

---

This first lab will go through the first part of Tutorial 1 seen here. 

Use an Xterm (written and video) as discussed in class NOT a remote desktop as used in the tutorials.

Go through Tutorial 1 up to the following image (the 25th image in the tutorial).



Your lab report will consist of: 1) simply showing some of the images in this tutorial (that you generated) with some simple coherent narrative, 

and 2) discussing how you will do regular backups while working on the future labs by zipping up your work and emailing it to yourself or 

uploading to dropbox, google drive, etc. with file names including the date (include at least two images to support your discussion).

The Laboratory Report -

Create the lab1.htm report in a folder also called lab1 in your CMOSedu account.
For example, for the user "jake", http://cmosedu.com/jbaker/courses/ee421L/f13/students/jake/.



and, within the lab1 folder seen above, see: http://cmosedu.com/jbaker/courses/ee421L/f13/students/jake/lab1/, the report will be, again, lab1.htm.

The figures will be generated using the snipping tool (Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Snipping Tool)



after clicking on lab1.htm we get

Ensure that your html lab report includes your name and email address at the beginning of the report (the top of the webpage).
