Preparing the Environment

 

 

            To setup your account so that you can use Cadence software here at SIUE, follow these steps

  1. Log into your EE account in the SCAD Lab (the cadence tools don't work yet in the CVIP lab), and in a command window, type "/home/cdsadmin/bin/add_cds". This will setup your cadence directory.
  2. In the same command window, type "cds". This will setup the environment for cadence. Note, this will disable the use of the mentor tools IN THIS COMMAND WINDOW ONLY. You can use cadence and mentor tools side by side if you open another command window.
  3. Any time in the future that you need to use the cadence tools, you must first type "cds" in the command window.
