- ADS uses Projects to hold all of your schematics and simulation results. One Project may contain numerous schematics (called Networks) and simulation results (called Datasets) in addition to other more advanced items. When you create a Project in ADS, you will enter a project name and ADS will create a new folder with the name you provided plus a suffix of “_prj” | MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY Guide to Agilent s Advanced Design System ADS Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Spring 2008 last revised 1 12 08 Summary This is a tutorial on how to create projects enter schematics simulate and view results using ADS. The following lists the steps that will be covered in this tutorial Part 1 Setting up Directory Structures and Launching ADS Part 2 Creating a Project Part 3 Creating a Design and Entering schematics Part 4 Simulating and Viewing Results Part 5 Using Variables Part 6 Using Subcircuits Part 7 Performing AC Sweep Simulations Part 8 Performing Parameter Sweeps 2 Part 1 Setting up Directory Structure and Launching ADS 1 Log onto the PC s in the computer lab on 6th Floor Cobleigh COBH 624 . 2 Setup your directory structure if your first time using ADS - ADS uses Projects to hold all of your schematics and simulation results. One Project may contain numerous schematics called Networks and simulation results called Datasets in addition to other more advanced items. When you create a Project in ADS you will enter a project name and ADS will create a new folder with the name you provided plus a suffix of _prj . - to keep things organized you should create a folder called ADS_Projects in which all of your project subfolders will be created in by ADS. Since there may be permission and size issues with using your Z drive it is recommended that you use your own personal thumb drive for all your files. - Create a folder on your thumb drive called ADS_Projects . 3 Start ADS using - Start - Programs - Advanced Design System 200x - Advanced Design System - the first time you launch ADS you may need to select the mixed signal option in a popup window. Part 2 Creating a Project 1 Create a Project - you ll need to provide a descriptive name . EE461_Digital_System_Design - when you started ADS a pop-up window appeared asking you What would you like to do - click on the Create a New Project button - in the Name field click .
